A Groovy Kind of Love

I browsed through Facebook and just found out that two of my friends are getting hitched to each other soon, they were taking wedding photo shoots.

I am happy for them, it's been some time and they had a really great relationship. I guess she finally found the Mr Right.
We used to be friends, as in a group of us back then in university and they were not a couple. In fact, she used to go out with someone else and he was, well, just single, a guy who kept saying that he needs to save money.
Then all of a sudden, we hear that they get together and they left their home states for their job in the north where I bumped into them both again and now I hear they're getting married.

Oh my, I am so touched, and I am sure most of our friends share the same sentiments.
They're both older than me, like a year and I guess they have decided to settle down.

This must be like the 'keep-on-coming' kind of news I have been hearing from very own peers and people I know for the past 1-2 years now and I guess everyone has decided it's the age to settle down.
You know, it's just so funny that everyone has just found their someone (that particular right guy/gal) and decide to just, stay put and spend eternity with the love of their lives and while, some of us on the other side of the globe are just so overwhelmed by other things in their life that they lost track of time.

Meeting the right person is a key thing here; sometimes, some of us may not know whether we have found the right person
OR
We may have found the right person but the timing is just not right and before you know it, you have missed the right person
But, another question springs to mind, how could we have miss the right person?

Well, timing plays an important role too

I have always thought that when you meet the right person, you'd always know
Throw in the right timing and the right kind of place, BAM, before you know it, you may be headed for the aisle in a jiff!

Falling in love cannot be planned, you can't just think whether it's right or wrong
You just fall
That's why it's called falling in love
Cupid strikes and you're head over heels

You start to float to the skies and everytime you think of him/her, you just swoon and you just smile dreamily
You will be swept off your feet when you look at him
You will blush when he smiles or look at you in the eyes
You will even feel a skip of your heartbeat when you hear his voice
You will never say no to him
You feel so sweet when you hear from him that you don't even need desserts
You look forward to meeting him so much that you will check your time throughout the day, can't wait for the hour to arrive

You will always feel the time with the person is not enough
You look forward to every single moment you spend with him
When you are with another person, you still wonder how's he doing
You will think of him constantly; he's just right there on your mind
You will think of him the minute the phone rings
You think of him every single waking moment
You just smile when you reminisced all the times with him
You get worried when he's late, or didn't return your call instead of getting impatient or mad
You will think of him, wonder whether he also has you on his mind

You missed him all the time, and one day away from him seems so long
You can't wait to see him
You just can't get him out of your mind
You're upset when he's upset and cries along with him
You're over the moon when's happy
You're angry when someone's made him angry
You just share his emotions and you love to see his smile or when he's happy with something

It's the same with the guy as well
When you're truly in love with someone, you just become all silly and you're willing to go any extent to make her smile

Now, that's love, and what I think it's love
True love, falling in love
How many of us truly experienced that?
A love that is so beautiful and groovy
The type that touches you to the bone

The type that makes you cry and feel so helpless when you're heartbroken or when it ends
The type that makes you think that all this while, you thought it was love until you meet HIM/HER

It's complicated, but yet it's just so special
I don't know how to describe nor define love
I am no expert in love either
Perhaps we are all still in search for love

Perhaps we will not know until we know ourselves
We may think we love someone but turn around, not really
We may think we are in love, but we feel confused and unhappy sometimes
Are we really in love?

Some just go from one love to another
Hopping from one to the next
Are they really in love or just looking for relief or rebound?
Are they just there to prove that they can find someone better?
If you are in love, there is nothing of that sort
All you want to do is find that person out there whom you love
You will not want to hurt him/her
You will forgive him/her for all that past mistakes
You will wish him/her happy

When you are in love and the person you love doesn't love you, you will not hold onto him/her
You will let him go
You cry in your heart alone but you wish for his/her happiness if he/she is in love with someone else
Love is never selfish
Love does not need to be returned
If you truly love, you will find love

The worst kind of love is sitting next to the person you love so much that your heart aches, but yet he/she doesn't know
The worst kind of love is sitting next to the person you love and yet, you can't tell them at all you love them (because of certain circumstances)

Love is not to be expected
Love is not to be reciprocrated all the time
Sometimes we can't force someone to love us just because we love them
We have to be content that love came to us and grew in our hearts
We pray that they too find their own love
If you love someone, you will never plant your tears in their heart
You only let them see your smile and happiness so that they will always smile when they see you

How will we find love?
How will we know love?
How will we recognize love?
How do we love?

Undefined answers; but I know we cannot find love
Love comes when you least expect it
Some of us may not be ready and then it goes away again
But I always believe that if it is meant to be, it's meant to be
Sometimes we regret for missing it, and we hate ourselves for letting it go
But if it's yours, it will always come back
Do not try to know or recognize love
Because we don't have to
When it comes, it recognizes us and itself
And when you know, you will be smiling to yourself

“Love is patient; love is kind
and envies no one.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
never selfish, not quick to take offense.
There is nothing love cannot face;
there is no limit to its faith,
its hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are three things
that last forever: faith, hope, and love;
but the greatest of them all is love.”

Have we all found our true love?
Someday
They must be somewhere out there
And there will be a day when we fall in love....
And that's when you feel your life is complete
When you find that someone who shares the same interest in your music
Who loves reading those books you read or share his thought or two
Who is interested in whatever you are interested in
And you are interested in whatever he's doing
And you will just think that
Your world is perfect

Love completes
Love complements
Love soothes
Love comforts
Love heals
Love makes you happy
Love makes you sad
Love makes you smile
Love makes you cry
Love makes your heart blossom
Love just breaks your heart

Whatever love does,
Love is simple beautiful

And I just know
Someday, somewhere

Love is there
It's everywhere, for our one true love
Out there....one day
