What does Love mean?
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8
year-olds, "What does love mean?"
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have
imagined. See what you think:
--------------
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her
toenails anymore.
So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got
arthritis too. That's love."
Rebecca- age 8

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
Billy - age 4

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and
they go out and smell each other."
Karl - age 5

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries
without making them give you any of theirs."
Chrissy - age 6
--------------
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
Terri - age 4

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before
giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."

even after they know each other so well."
Tommy - age 6
--------------
"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at
all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.
He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore."

You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."

handsomer than Robert Redford."

day."
Mary Ann - age 4

and has to go out and buy new ones."
Lauren - age 4
--------------
"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars
come out of you."
Karen - age 7
--------------
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's
gross."

it, you should say it a lot. People forget."

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked
about a contest he was asked to judge.
The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor
was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old
gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,
"Nothing, I just helped him cry"

love is when that special someone sticks around with you until you realize that you love her back and if you don't she's still there waiting for the day you'll realize that no one else can love you in that way...

[What do you do when someone tells you they love you, but you dont love them? Just do what i do, say 'thank you']
i want me to be the one in your arms, i want me to be the one you wanna be with, i wanna go back to the way it was, i swear we could, i dont want anyone else to have this heart, i dont want anyone to have yours, i cant stand this crying constantly and i thought he made me happy but when i speak to you you make everything change, you dont understand and your the only person i want to, we used to know so much about each other, why'd it have to change everything could be so good again.
Oh Boy You've Got So Much To Learn, Coz You Cant Keep A Girl Like This, You Gotta Meet Her Half Way, If You Love Her The Way You Say You Do.

firstly, your mum hasnt stopped you from doing anything, mine has, you've been kicked out of a skool you didnt like and dont have to go back until you do your exams, i however have to go back to a skool i hate and take all the shit. Then, you've kept all your mates and gained more, iv lost a load, and now half of them would rather have you around than me. You now get accepted into the 6th form you wanna go to, where as I might not be allowed to go to the one i want too!! Finally, Iv lost someone i love, and you've got a good excuse to get rid of someone you were sick of. And Iv wrecked your life?

Sometimes you know you push me so hard
I don't know how I feel
You almost make me doubt I feel at all
It's not as though I always listen
But there's just so much I don't hear
Maybe I'll never be what you want
I know that all you're asking for
Is a little place in my heart
But I don't find it easy to give
Maybe I get a little selfish sometimes
Why shouldn't I?
I used to say I love you
But would it make a difference this time?
And who am I to tell you that I would never let you down
That no-one else could love you half as much as I do now
And who am I to tell you I'll always catch you when you fall
Well I, I wouldn't be myself at all
I wouldn't be myself at all, at all.
I always find a reason why I didn't put you first
It's not that complicated I know
I really hate it when you shake your head like this ain't gonna work
Maybe you'll never reap what you sow
I didn't want to do what everybody does
And hide the truth to find we never knew a thing about love
Cos this is real life, real love
And knowing what it comes down too
It just might be enough
