Love Shots

Monday, July 06, 2009

I would like to share an email I received from someone I previously worked with...

The hardest part in life is not by loving, but by forgetting the one you learned to love.

Isn't love just like shooting stars?

Love, like shooting stars, so beautiful and special. Rarely does it come; in fact, some people, if they see one at all, see it only once in a lifetime. Because once is actually more than enough. The beauty and the thrill, the happiness, last a lifetime. Just like shooting stars, it happens too when you least expect it. Often, at the corner of your eye, and it never happens at that point in the sky where you are staring. You have to be quick enough to catch it because they move so fast.

So don't look in one spot too long...open your eyes. Because when you finally decide to take your eye out of that one spot, it might be too late.

Lastly, both love and shooting stars take time. Love is patient (Corinthians 13:13). You don't see shooting stars at once. Most of the time, you have to be looking up the sky quite a long time before you actually see one. BEFORE THE RIGHT ONE COMES ALONG. Because of the millions of stars, a few shoot. And, sometimes, yeah, it IS enough to stare up the sky and see the little diamonds...but shooting stars really take the cake.

"Love has its time, season and own reasons. You can't ask it to stay, you can only embrace it as it comes, and be glad that, FOR A MOMENT in your life...it was yours."

"Love, no matter how hard you try to find it, you won't see it. No matter how hard you try, you won't get it. But when you are about to give up, it comes."

Soon we will all find our shooting stars. Isn't it sad how some people's grip on their lives is so precarious that they'll embrace any preposterous delusion rather than face an occasional bleak truth?

Ouch....

Sigh will I still get to find my shooting star? I seem to always strike out when it comes to love. Haaay I gotta be patient. I still believe my turn will come - in God's time...right place, right time AND most importantly, the right guy for me.
