LOVE ENDURES, FORGIVES, FORGETS, IS BLIND

By: Kenneth Stepp

Love leaves me weak. Love gives me strength. Never in human history has there been one subject that is simply unknowable. Only love. I believe it is because love is not a human dynamic. It is an entity that live beyond us mere Earthlings. I’ve heard it said that God is love. I choose this as my belief. So, to love unconditionally, limitless, and unmerited, I mean real love. Is the only Godlike trait we mortals can have. It’s why we search for love. Even after being hurt from it every time. We search.

Every day and every night my thoughts are about you.

I will always love you

Will we be together…I don’t know…anymore than you but I just want you to know…

I will always love you

If your heart never opens you never fall in love with me…

I will always love you

If we get mad or cross and tempers should flair sometimes…

I will always love you.

If the days pass and time gets away

I will always love you

If we stay together

I will always love you

If we don’t…broken hearted

I will always love you.

That my love I promise you – By Cami Adams

I believe Ms Adams found the real meaning of love. It has less than human components. When I hear someone talk about relationship deal breakers. I know they lack a clear understanding of what love really is. I am convinced, most people have never experienced real love. They equate it to intense feelings. Or something along those lines. I cannot put love into words. I can’t describe it. I can describe what it does, what it looks like, and what it is capable of. Having real love, is like turning God loose inside us.

Love endures. Meaning. If you said, “I love you” to someone twenty years ago, real love would still exist. Dating love does not. I experienced this in my life. Love goes beyond us. I love her. Being a part of her life isn’t part of real love. I just want her happy. Happy with who she is with. Not me. Obviously, We weren’t right for one another. My love desires her to find Mr Right.

“If they go out on me, I’m done”. This is the perfect phrase to explain what love isn’t. Conditions do not exist where unconditional love exists. I get “corrected” every time I write about this. Yet, it is simple. Love is unconditional. If what you have has conditions. It isn’t love at all. This is defining. Love, at least real love. Is perfect.

Real love sees no faults, meaning you are always with your dream girl or guy. A gift from love. It not only forgives quickly. It forgets even quicker. I was in a relationship once that when we disagreed, she brought out her “inventory” of wrong things I had done. That isn’t love. I believe love desires to calmly talk things through, to erase hurt, guilt, and shame. Love is a lifestyle, if you are both capable of experiencing it, and fortunate enough to find it. My invitation to you, come search with me.
