real love.

[silly~lilly]

Have you ever thought you loved someone, only to realise that you never did, not really love them, with all your heart? to love but not to be IN love.

Did you spend years with the wrong person but only realised they were wrong when you found your right. ?

Up until now, i didn't realise what love even felt like. Now i know and its incredible.

Now i have found it, i know what i felt before was nothing like how i feel now, it didn't even come close to it. It takes my breath away. It's taken me a few years and a few failures but at last, i'm truly in love with someone!

Im pleased you have found your soul mate lilly..
Live your life to the full and enjoy yourself x

[Petal~flower]

have heard people say this before.

But at the time, you really do believe you are in love with that person.

I have become hardened to it now. And don't believe finding your soul mate exists.

but good luck to you lilly x

I believe in what petal's just said. Everyone thinks they've found The One at first, but after a few years, opinions can change - or if you have an abusive relationship & then go into a better one, it can feel like you've found "it" at last.
I've been married for almost 11 years, and still feel very happy, but ask me again in another 11 years. Who knows?
Whatever - make the most of it lilly, and the best of luck to you - x

i understand what you are both saying but i NEVER felt the same as i do this time, not at any point during my other relationships. It's taken me experiencing love like i have now to realise that what i felt before wasn't me being in love.

It is so totally different. Im old enough to recognise the difference in my feelings as more than the first flush of love.
I think one of the important factors in this relationship is that we became friends long before we became lovers. We formed a mutual respect for each other as indiviuals, getting to know one another without the other stuff being involved. I respect this man totally, everything about him, everthing he is. I can honestly say, that is something ive never felt before.

i thought i had become hardened and cynical as regards love but im glad to say, i havent . I just feel incredibly lucky to have, at long last, found a man i love totally.

I can't say ive ever been a big believer in soulmates either but i do believe we can find a love that is meant to last. Too often i think we settle for something that isnt quite right. I know i have.

thank you for your kind words Mrk, i intend to. x
