Vulnerable

I received a call from a very love-struck friend today. She was overwhelmed with emotions whilst detailing her love encounter with an incredibly great guy that she met through a mutual friend. The almost 2 hr long conversation ended with her saying "I feel so vulnerable, I hope this will work out well this time". Have had a bad break up with her last man, I do really wish that this does work well for her, cos she certainly deserves it.

I guess when it comes to love we all must put ourselves in a vulnerable position, its like putting yourself in a roller coaster ride of emotions and trusting your heart to practically a stranger. Love makes you want to bare all..heart and soul to someone. Enabling them to venture in. No matter how well you try to protect yourself, you can never run away from the power of love. One day, one person..not much different from other 6 billion people on the planet, crosses paths with you and totally blew you away..with just one smile, one look, or one kiss..just like that and you will never be the same person again.

Love is so complex, its never been really understood and nobody can ever say "I know what LOVE is". It could mean a hell lot of different meaning to different people, some might be lucky enough to experience love like no other, being so in love that the world is a better place to wake up to..just by being in love. For others it might be a dangerous game, like playing with fire..and love do burn you, it can be a soul-hurt, a pain that travels slowly but assuringly to the corners of your heart. And it is painful.

I guess at the end of the day we can never know how love will turn out. One day you might wake up and realise that you are filled with the thought of that one person day and night until you cant believe how vulnerable you are to this feeling and hope that you will not get hurt. Taking every step in making sure all goes well, but we can never be too sure of anything when it comes to love.

Whatever it is that we think of love, I think that it is better to love, and risk it all..rather than not to love at all.

:)an affirmative fact. Perhaps each of mankind has different experience when expressing about L.O.V.E.
as quoated from Vince Lombardi - If you can't accept losing, you can't win... i guess we can apply this in every situation including when it comes to relationship :) We pray for the best! may your friend's relationship will work out well this time! take care sweetie!

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly,
What is essential is invisible to eye.
-Antoine de Saint-Exupery-

there's always highs and lows in life, and have faith that one day love will lead the way.

*take care : to you and your friend*
