Loveburst. It reminds you about what matters. A telegram delivered to the back door of the familiar, telling you to treasure the treasure you've got while you've got it. A whisper from an angel, or someone who sounds like one, reminding you that what you have is greater than what you want and that what is urgent is not always what matters.

Love and Time
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived; Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge and all the others, including Love.
One day, it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was Going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So, all the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed to the end. She wanted to cherish the island paradise until the last possible moment.
When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help. Just then, Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, "Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?" Richness answered, "I'm sorry but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere."
Then, Love decided to ask Vanity for help, who was passing in a beautiful vessel. Love cried out, "Vanity, help me please."
"I can't help you," Vanitysaid, "You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat."
Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love said, " Sadness, please let me go with you."
Sadness answered, "Love, I'm sorry but I just need to be alone now." Then, Love saw Happiness. Love cried out, "Happiness, please take me with you."
But, Happiness was so overjoyed, that he didn't hear Love calling to him. Love began to cry.
She then heard a voice say, "Come, Love, I will take you with me." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land, the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder. Love looked for Knowledge and asked, "Who was the elder that helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered. "But, why did Time help me, when no one else would?" Love asked.
Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."Love Quote #2
"When you think of your past love, you may view it as a failure. But when you find a new love, you view the past as a teacher."
Letting go and Moving on
The word goodbye is something that we may be able to say with our lips but not with our hearts. When we let go of someone because it is the right thing to do, our foolish hearts would bargain with us and always keep a little window of hope open for a reunion even if we know that there is little chance of reconciliation.
Life is a cycle of finding love, losing it and getting hurt. You are in pain but soon, you will realize that after experiencing the agony that loving brings, there is redemption in the end. An affirmation that there is life after losing love. If we give ourselves the chance then life will repeat its cycle and help us find love and happiness again.
Let this lesson of love live in your hearts. When we fall for someone and give ourselves entirely to loving that person, we should open our minds to the possibility of falling flat on our faces and getting hurt. In many relationships there comes a time when the “I love you’s” fade, when the romance falters, and when the wind of affection blows cold. In every hello there is goodbye. We cannot hold someone forever in our arms. One day, we will have to say goodbye to love. It is the day we will draw our strength not from what we have taken but from what we have given. Let us always remember that it is only when we are not afraid of love and what it brings that ending can be beginnings of more beautiful things to come.

Love Quote #1
"Only love can hurt your heart, fill you with desire and tear you apart. Only love can make you cry and only love knows why. If you’re not ready to cry, if you’re not ready to risk, if you’re not ready to feel the pain, then you’re not ready to fall in love."
