Defining Love

[GiveawayGirl]

LMAO! gathers myself together, Iam sorry Dear friend for laughing at such a serious moment..
~soft smile~ clears thoat *sigh*
YOU of all people Know this one! Its Only going to be as difficult as you make it!

Now as for the answers your seeking, let me try this perhaps with someone like yourself its easier to find what you seek by talking to yourself .. so how about some simple questions
Your seeking answers from others when the answers are within you!

Lets make Today Question Yank DAY! Ohhh and I get Ta start Cuz it was *My Idea* hehe and sometimes it just fun to be at the beginning lol that and I have to get to work soon.

(1) Ok Yank, Tell me What exactly is it that has you so worried? I mean this thing you need to understand and dissect this love, why is it so imperative to you that you understand each and every nuaunce of it?

I loooooooooooove this idea GOS, can I ask the next question?

Well, I'm gonna......

Yank, what is your shoe size?

 

[GiveawayGirl]

You've cut me to the quick.

Oh Yank, I was just teasing you. I'm sorry

 

[midwestyankee]

Oh Yank, I was just teasing you. I'm sorry

You found my secret: I hate to be wrong.

And in this case, being disagreed with is almost the same as being wrong - even though I know that what I am trying to do is a good thing.

Ah, it's just an ugly and gray Saturday and my coffee didn't do its job.

Oh geez, you are going to force me to be serious again, aren't you?

Yank, only you can determine what is good for you and what isn't. From the beginning, my point was simply that you should consider the possibilities of too much exploration of something that might no be definitive in the first place. And also consider that there may be consequences to trying to define something that flourishes best without parameters and definitions.

You so often remind us that an essential component to this journey we are on is growth. Perhaps in this case the growth comes from recognizing an inability to do something instead of expending effort to dissect it.

Why is my least favorite word

I started asking "why" about everything when I was in high school, and the only consistent answer to this question is "because".

Where love is concerned, my "whys" for being in love include many possibilities, including most of the above definitions of love that have been indicated.

I believe there are no coincidences, and that we fall in love "because" that's what we are here to do! (And we are in love with our certain someones "because" we are meant to be in love with them.



Edited to add: I believe that life and love are really simple things that we usually complicate.

I didn't force you to be serious at all. You could have laughed this off to the piss-poor coffee like I did. Instead, you challenged me.

Maybe I have some different thinking to do.

How about that, GG? No puns, either.

Jenny-

I couldn't agree with you more.

I don't need to understand why I love someone; I simply need to recognize that I do.

Yank, in all the time I've known you, you have always challenged me to think and examine. I personally think that is a good thing because it makes me a better person.

I'm sorry that I disagree with you. At the same time, I would be remiss as your friend to agree with you for the sake of pacifying you....and you would hate that.

I can't help but wonder if you simply just need a hug from a friend today instead of debating the merits of self exloration.

Adding My Hugs along with yours {{{Yank}}}

I think maybe we are forgetting that while we Understand
"just because"
Yank, maybe for the first time in a very long time, has found something that really frightens him.....

Ahhhhhh! Fears are a very harsh Mistress, they dance in our minds and cause us to question all things rather then just except that somethings are Just because there suppose to be!

Adding some Smoooches along with those Hugs

I'm no fool, so I'll take a few hugs from you too, Goddess.

Still, I don't think it's accurate to say I have found something I fear and thus do not understand. Rather, I think that perhaps finally I have found a love that is mysteriously powerful and I am in awe of its power.

then perhaps you disect it because you can't get enough of it?? hummm

Mysteriously powerful and awe are all very intense words in themselves

LOL you do realize that speachless comes next? ~chuckle~

Iam happy for you! and only just a little concerned that you are looking for answers where you shouldnt..

Magic is only Magic when you can't see the illusion behind it!
The sweetest treasures sometimes are the simple things we just accept without question..
Example.. do you question why your children love you? you just know that they do, and its a fine example of *just because*

when a connection comes along which melts your heart, while building a fire within you, shows you can walk on water and dance within the clouds.. why not just enjoy it every moment of it should be special, no one knows what tomorrow holds, what if you woke up tomorrow and it was gone? wouldnt you regret all the wasted time spent in disecting when you could have been making love?
LOL Ok well thats a rather dramatic way of putting it, but the simple truth again is that you should just
Goooo With The FLowwww!! enjoy your time fully and know that its yours Just because it is!

Damn that was good GoS!!

I love the line about magic being magic if you can't see the illusion. Way cool.

Yank - I love the disection, I'm never giving that up - it is too much fun for me. I don't see it as disection really but interest in learning and understanding. Sure there may never be one answer, I don't care, I care about my perceptions and how I can learn more of them and find ways to enhance them too.

I am highly analytical (yes, my friends *I do know this*!) and at times it may be overbearing but mostly the results are so grand that I'd not want to miss the clues. Life is too interesting to me not to consider everything I can.

Just don't ask me how the pole vault works - I don't get kenetic and potentional energy - even when they tried to explain it! Some things in life I can just accept! lol

There is a Special Something about you...

Something...that draws me to you
and makes me want to get to know you better.
Something...that stirs-up my emotions
every time I see you; every time I am near you;
every time I hear or speak your name.

I really don't understand why I feel this way,
or, what this is all about;
I only know that my heart tells me
~with each and every pounding beat~
that the Special Something about you...
could turn into Something Very Special for us

Maybe Love is about something as opposed to just because

.....I don't want to analyze, I just want it continue... More

Bingo!

This is exactly what I was trying to say but I used about 3 thousand more words and far less clarity.

Perfect!

Must be. I think I'm going to have to shave my hands before I'll be able to get a date tonight.

I've been shaving my palms for years..
At least glasses help the sight ... some...

Maybe a little philosphy might work here,

It's not the end of a journey that matters, but it's the journey itself that matters in the end.

Look at love as the journey. That is what matters.

You look in the mirror
At lines that were not there yesterday
And find a couple more hairs turned grey
With a nervous glance at me
You wonder if
I notice ‘Little Things’

Later, as I lay beside you
And sleep has closed your eyes
I think of the way you stroked my hair
And how, before you hung my jacket
You held it close to you

I reach out and take your hand
And with all the Love the world has ever known
I bring it to my lips
For yes
I notice ‘Little Things’

i am in a really romantic mood today
