It is a mystery why we fall in love. It is a mystery how it happens. It is a mystery why some love grow and it is a mystery why some fail along the road of life.
You can analyze and look for reasons and causes, but you will never do anymore than take the life out of the experience.
Love is more than the sum of interests and attractions and commonalities that two people share. And just as life itself is a gift that comes and goes in its time, the coming and going of love must be taken as an unfathomable gift that cannot be questioned in its ways..
Too often, when love comes to two people, they try to grasp the love and hold it to them, refusing to see that it is a gift given and a gift that just as freely moves away. When they fall out of love, or the person they love feels the spirit of love leaving, they try desperately to reclaim the love that is lost rather than accepting the gift for what it was.
Answers are wanted where there are none. To try to know what is wrong with them, or to get their love to change, thinking that if some small thing were different love would bloom again. Circumstances are blamed. Everything is done to give meaning to what has happened. But there is no meaning beyond the love itself, and until two people accept love's mysterious ways, they will live in a sea of misery.
You need to treat what love brings you with kindness. If you find yourself in love with someone who does not love you back, be gentle with yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. Love just didn't choose to rest in the other person's heart.
If you find someone else in love with you who you feel no love, feel honored that love came and called at your door, but gently refuse the gift you cannot return. Do not take advantage, nor cause pain.
How you deal with love is how love deals with you, and all your hearts feel the same pain and joys, even if our individual lives and ways are very different.
If you fall in love with another who falls in love with you, and then love chooses to leave, do not reclaim it or to assess blame. Let it go. There is a reason and there is a meaning. You will know it in time, but only time itself will choose the moment.
Remember this, and keep it in your heart. You don't choose love. Love chooses you. All you can really do is to accept it for all its mystery when it comes into your life. Feel the way it fills you to overflowing, then reach out and give it away. Give it back to the person who brought it to you. Give it to others who seems poor in spirit. Give it to the world around you in anyway you can.
Love has its own time, its own season, and its own reasons for coming and going. You cannot bribe it or coax it into staying. If it chooses to leave from your heart or from the heart of the one you love, there is nothing you can do and nothing you should do. Be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life. If you keep your heart opoen, it will surely come back again...
