I love you
not for what
I want you to be
But for what you are
I loved you then
For what you were
I love you now
for what you have become

I miss you
And not only you

I miss what I am
When you are here

Love is..being happy for the other person
when they are happy
being sad for the person when they are sad
being together in good times and being together in bad times
Love is, the source of strength

Love is..being honest with yourself at all times
being honest with the other person at all times
telling, listening, respecting the truth and never pretending
Love is the source of reality

Love is...an understanding so complete that
you feel as if you are a part of the other person
accepting the other person just the way they are
and not trying to change them to be something else
Love is, the source of unity

Love is....the freedom to pursue your own desires
while sharing your experiences with the other person
the growth of one individual along side of
and together with the growth of another individual
Love is, the source of success
