For those who are sceptical about love, love doesn't come wrapped up, already made. Love works for all those who work at it. It needs a twosome for it to work out. Love is something that makes happy things happier. It is a language just for two, spoken in a world just for two, as time stands still – just for two. To share love with someone is to know the fullest meaning of what happiness can be. Love knows no bound and we sometimes lose our grasp with reality when we're in love. Unfortunately, just like love can make you it can also break you.

Once we feel love, we find no way to control its selfish desires even if it means hurting the one closest person to you. There are no guarantees when it comes to love. Love is like that, we don't control it, we can only deny or accept it when it's there and the only way we can measure love is by looking deep down inside our hearts, then we'll know how much we love and for how long.

Most of us have the ideal concept of what a perfect relationship is and when we dive towards this relationship, we get frustrated because our expectations may never be met. But true love doesn't expect anything in return. If we only try to be open-minded and understand that we give love not to gain favour but it is something we share with someone special because giving it makes us happy.

It is easy to say "I love you" or "I need you" and other flowery words that will linger to the very core of our hearts, the thing is, can we take the responsibility and commitment for our promises? Why do people say "I love you" but in reality they don't really understand what love is nor know how to love.

It is very painful to learn that someone you really love has someone else besides you. They will make you fall in love completely and devotedly but later on they will leave you hanging in despair. These are the people who never care at all. I pity this kind of people as they have a serious problem with themselves. All of us at one time in our lives have been hurt by those whom we have loved and trusted, they leave us painfully shattered into pieces, but only when we recognise why love fades away, can we truly understand the reason why we get hurt.

There are times in our lives when we must experience pain, a time when it's hard to forget and it hurts to remember. There is nothing wrong in holding on to the memories of the person we once loved. They are all part of us. But engaging in a relationship and at the same time living in the past is unfair. Yesterday must never keep us from today's reality. We can never forget those whom we have loved. These are the people who gave us something to feel for and brought us the brilliance within ourselves, people who made our lives meaningful and special inside and out; a life worth living for. But only when we learn to accept the reasons why they are gone, can we truly put the past where it belongs. Besides, we did our part, we gave them our best, if they refused it, it is their loss not ours.

You're not the only one to feel disappointed by love. It happens to everyone – all of us – beautiful or not, rich or poor, wise or naive. We all deserve someone, and mysteriously that certain someone will make him or herself known to us – not always when we need them most but for sure they will be there. Change is the one constant thing in life – there will be a time for love and a time for emptiness. No one is exempted from being left behind but no one has to be left behind forever. There's always room for love in your life and love can come from the most unexpected places when you least expect it.

Love comes love goes, like a journey. Love is like that, full of mystery, full of mischief, that's why when love takes over, miracles can happen especially if true love prevails.
