I asked this beautiful lady to dance about 40 years ago. She accepted. A year later we were married and enjoyed life together for 38 years. She died two years ago. I thought I loved her when I asked her to marry me. Ten years later into our marriage I thought I couldn't live without her, but truly didn't know what love was. At our 20 anniversary I gave her a huge diamond and really knew what love was. I was wrong. On through of 38 years of marriage we had our ups-and-downs, but always remained true. She got cancer and I helped her for 22 months to fight it. She lost the battle. Well during that last 2 years I understood the deep feelings I had; I realized the best friend I had; As the time got close to her passing away my afffection was so strong I thought I would die myself from the thoughts of losing her; and, today I know how I was in love and had to lose it to understand it. It comes from our hearts and the feelings you would give away your life to ensure they have theirs. Love envolves slowly for me, but gets so powerful that nothing else in life matters.
To love one no less than you love yourself. There is a part misunderstood by many and that is the TRUE part. A love to be had that is TRUE to another, not in belief but in substance and faithfullness.
A love is a love....but a true love is a love that is TRUE! (faithful!)
A bell that is cracked can give a ring, but only a flawless bell can ring TRUE!
You must understand also that even a true love can be destroyed by the one to whom it belongs. Not the giver but the reciever is to whom it belongs. Too many times one destroys a true love and then calls the true lover a lier and a false person.....denying their destruction of it.
I dont think there is a definition called true love, coz as far as i know, Love already should be true, if not, you couldnt call it love, dontcha think so???
True love is real is just you have to keep looking for the right partner. If you think someone is going drop your partner in your lap guess again.Never give up in looking for your partner because your partner is also looking for you as well.You might want your partner to be very close by but what if your partner is some where else in this world.The key to true love is never give up looking for YOUR TRUE PARTNER.
True love is very much real but you just have to find the right partner in your search.Don't give up in YOUR search.

John, I understand. A little over three years ago, I met a wonderful man and we became friends, then best friends, and then finally started dating in Sept 2005. January 2006 we decided to have a handfasting ceremony...that's marriage the way our ancestors did it centuries ago...not as a legal marriage, but one of the heart. It was as married as we were ever going to be. In Oct 2006, he felt a lump on his neck...just the size of a pea, but given the sore throat he'd had for almost a year, he finally knew he was really sick. We decided after some months of discussion (or, me convincing him) to get legally married in Feb 2007 to put him on my health benefits so that he could go to a doctor. By then, that lump was much more than a pea, and we knew he was really very sick. We didn't know he was already Stage IV and terminal with cancer until about a month later, when he finally got to see a doctor. He died in Oct 2007.
What I'm thankful for is that we'd both been through so much that we knew what a treasure we had in each other, and rejoiced in that every moment we were together. We crammed at least 20 years of love and appreciation into 2 years. I married him to save his life...and I would have given mine to let him live. Because of him, my heart has wings, and isn't afraid to love again. What we had was beautiful, and I'm young enough to hope that I can find it again. One thing I've learned is that life is too short not to live it fully every day...and not to appreciate all that you have, and treasure your loved ones. We never know what tomorrow brings.

I believe in thru love when the right combination of two people get together. And both have a real desire to work together to make it work. But chances are not always good for many to be so lucky. Some are happy just to settle with someone. Then divorce or breakup happens out of those kind of relationships or worse. I myself have grown very picky, cause of the bad ones in my past. So in my case I will never just settle for less than a happy loving relationship, I will never be abused or thrown away again. It will be truely right or I will remain alone.
maybe true luv exists somewhere if so why does it cause so much heartache true luv is something one shares no matter what its all about caring sharing all you got and pledging your dying luv for that one person not many can really prove it and stay true.
