Love Comes Once in a Lifetime

It's really not fair, all those fairy tales society provides to small children as they grow up.  I know I have posted about this before, but seriously.  Why do we feed little children with these huge expectations of love when they usually aren't true? Love is so much harder than portrayed.  It's not fair and does not provide proper preparation for the difficult road love truly is.  

When you fall in love, when you truly find that one person you can't live without, what would you really do for them?  Like the fairy tales say, would you give up friends and family you love?  How about run away to the ends of the earth with them?  Would you allow someone of a different background to become part of your life?  Or fight the terrible dragons of life to rescue them?  Would you protect them from any harm of any form?  Is there anything you wouldn't do for the one you deeply love?

Now the tables turn.  How do you believe everything someone tells you?  Does pure love always have perfect trust?  When actions don't match words, which one do you listen to?  The wonderful words that you long to hear, or the actions that contradict everything said.  People say actions speak louder than words.  How true is that really? Maybe none of the things you were once told and promised for so long, never really were true at all... 

If I can, I would like to give the guys out there some advice.  When that one person who pulls your heart strings stronger than anyone ever could, who you know you don't want to nor could you ever live without... it's not something that comes around often.  Don't let it slip away.  What does that mean?  Do everything.  Do something to stand out.  Something that reminds her you are the most important thing in her life, on a daily basis.  I firmly believe in the old fashion values that a man's job is to woo and win a woman's affections.  So if someone does not agree with these statements, I mean to offend no one.  But as for me, letting that person who means everything to you know that you will not and refuse to live without them could change the rest of your life.
