Falling in love is always Springtime you become consumed
with the sweet aura of floating on cloud mine.You feel as
if you will be giddy forever.You can't fathom not loving
your partner. It's that time of innocence and rebirth when
love seems eternal, magical fresh and effortless.
Your partner becomes the perfect fit.
you feel as if the two
of you dance together
in a balance that
rivals the equinox.
Throughout the
Summers of love
you sometimes realize
that your partner
isn't quite as perfect as
you had originally thought,
and you actually have to
work on your relationship.
Not only does your partner,
he/she seem like
they are from some bizarre
sitcom called Slobbivia
but they also make mistakes,
and carry scars and flaws.
Frustration and
disappointment arise,
but these are simply weeds
that need to be
uprooted and discarded,
it's all part of
the growing process....
beneath the weeds
lie lovely moments
waiting to bloom.
Even when it is
no longer as easy to give love
and get the love you need
as it was in the beginning.
You discover that you're
not always happy
and that you don't
always feel loving.
Since this doesn't fit
that perfect picture of love
many people at this point
become disillusioned.
They expected
Springtime all year,
and blame their partner,
and often give up.
They don't understand
that love isn't always easy
sometimes it requires hard work
under intense heat,
it is during this times
that you need to nurture
your partners needs
as well as ask for
and get the love you need.
This is when you really
have to expand those
communication skills.
Honesty is a seed that can
blossom into fruitfulness
that can be shared forever.
As a result of all of that nurturing
of a somewhat stunted growth
you will get to harvest the results
of your work come Fall.
this is that golden time, rich and fulfilling.
You experience a
more mature love
that accepts and understands
imperfections, theirs as
well as your own.
if the apple is a bit bruised,
it still makes a great pie.
it is a time of
Thanksgiving and sharing.
Having worked hard
during the droughts
of Summer you can
now relax a little
and enjoy the love
of a feast for two
that you have created....
without a lot of leftovers.
Then when the whethers
/weather changes again
you will experience
some barren months
of winter when all the world
pulls back into itself.
It's a time for rest and
reflection and renewal.
Cozy fires, long hours
indoors and cold nights
of cuddles beneath blankets.
it is also a time
for solitary growth
when you can look at
more within yourself,
as well as relying on
your partner for
love and fulfillment.
It's a time of enjoying
a muffled world
buried under ice and snow,
yet cozy warm inside.
Spring will inevitably return
blessing you with feelings of
hope and abundant possibilities.
bursting from the confines
of a loving relationship.
Based on the healing of feelings
and soul searching during two
who shared a long winter journey
you'll be able to enjoy that
Springtime of love
all over again.
I Love you really means,
I accept you for the
person that you are,
and I don't wish to
change you into
something other then yourself.
It means not expecting
perfection from you
just as you don't
expect it from me.
I love you means
I will stand by you
even when you are
in a bad mood,
or too tired to do
the things I want to do.
It means loving another
when they are down,
not just when they
are fun to be with.
I love you means
I know your deepest secrets
and do not judge you for them,
asking only in return that
you not judge me for mine.
It means most of all that
I am thinking of you,
wanting and needing you,
and hoping you feel
the same way for me
as the years blend us into one.
