“Do not stir up or awaken love until it pleases”
-Songs of Solomon 2:7
Since Valentine’s Day is oh so near, I thought I’d pull out one of my favorite quotes about love. To me, there is no word or feeling sweeter. I am very much what you would call a hopeless romantic. Is there any better feeling than those butterflies awakening and fluttering around in your stomach? Or looking someone in the eyes and trying to say everything that has been running around in your mind to express exactly how you feel towards them but in the end they just end up leaving you speechless. It’s so beautiful to watch two people falling in love, especially when they don’t see it coming but the whole rest of the world does. It’s sweet. Often times because we have these feelings that rush in so fast, we get blinded and try to move so fast that we don’t stop and think. We force things to happen when it may not be the right time, just because we want it so bad. That’s when all the confusion and hurt comes along and a love that could have been great has been damaged. Remember love is a gift. Love has to be something that you take your time with. Cherish every moment and not rush into it. If it is meant, it will happen in its own time. Wait until it’s ready and it will be stronger than ever.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Here is a poem from one of my favorite poets:
Love
There is this thing; a thing called love,
It sleeps all the while we dance around it,
We often laugh and play and cry and lay,
Half broken hearted and happy through the day,
Then we're often confused and know not what to say;
“Will I find this love or some painful dismay?”
But be patient and kind in your approach to dance with love,
And let it rest along with your wishes,
Until the comforts and joys of your lover are pleased,
Then do you wake this thing; this thing called love,
In the name of that heavenly being above,
Where all your prayers were heard and kept,
While that sweet thing of love slept…
It sleeps all the while we dance around it,
We often laugh and play and cry and lay,
Half broken hearted and happy through the day,
Then we're often confused and know not what to say;
“Will I find this love or some painful dismay?”
But be patient and kind in your approach to dance with love,
And let it rest along with your wishes,
Until the comforts and joys of your lover are pleased,
Then do you wake this thing; this thing called love,
In the name of that heavenly being above,
Where all your prayers were heard and kept,
While that sweet thing of love slept…
