Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star?

I just wanted to mention how much I admire strong couples and their beautiful, relationships and most importantly- trust & love. I look at young women like Allyce and see her still head over heels for a man- her husband, miles & miles away fighting for our country, regardless of living a few days or even months without him. I see Casey counting down the days, but still having the time of her life. I swear time flew by & that boy was back to holding her for a week or two. Not once had Casey ever doubted her relationship, not once had Allyce complained. I see high school sweet-hearts like Becca & Miles and Chelsea & Justin, who are still young & going strong. Then there's high school sweet-hearts like Carla & Colin who have been together for years and are getting married so soon, it's crazy- the good kind of crazy.

There's so many people who throw "I love you" around like it's a mass text, so many people who throw it all away, so many people who forget what love is really about. Whenever I forget, I think about the couples who I mentioned and how imperfect their relationship is, but how perfect their love is. It's real and I wish people would open their eyes to see that & take notes. I know I have. I won't deny that at all.

Love is...
-putting the other person before yourself
-wanting the person to be happy, regardless of your own happiness
-patient; always waiting and taking time, never rushing
-being yourself; not hiding anything
-trusting the other person to not break your heart
-loyal; your his one and only- there are no doubts
-silly; being able to laugh together at everything and even each other
-work; always willing to fix the problems at hand without leaving each other
-communication; openness & having no secrets
-happiness; the smile that will never wipe off your face
-beautiful; like the stars and the moon, nothing is more beautiful than being in love
-falling in love with each other over and over again, every day
-looking past someone's imperfections and still wanting to be with them
-fearless; no doubts, no regrets, just diving in head first to whatever is throw your way
-encouraging; always lifting the other person up
-funny; no matter what mood- you can make them laugh & even laugh at yourself
-thrilling; even if you're just holding hands
-confident; always believing in the other person
-strength; you'd rather fight with that certain someone than kiss someone else
-romantic; being head over heels every time you kiss
-willing; if you don't want to do something- you'll do it anyway for that certain someone
-forgiving; continuing to love them even if they hurt you

The list goes on & on, I just wanted to write this blog because I want people to know that there is hope, there is a fairy-tale love out there and that there is a certain someone out there for you. Don't settle for less than you deserve.
