If you find yourself in love with someone who does not

love you, be gentle with yourself. There is nothing wrong

with you. Love just didn't choose to rest in the other

person's heart.

If you find someone else in love with you and you don't

love him/her, feel honored that love came and called at your

door, but gently refuse the gift you cannot return. Do not

take advantage, do not cause pain.

How you deal with love is how you deal with you, and all

our hearts feel the same pains and joys, even if our lives

and ways are different.

If you fall in love with another, and he/she falls in

love with you, and then love chooses to leave, do not try to

reclaim it or to assess blame, let it go. There is a reason

and there is a meaning. You will know in time.

Remember that you don't choose love. Love chooses you. All

you can really do is accept it for all its mystery when it

comes into your life. Feel the way it fills you to

overflowing, then reach out and give it away.

Give it back to the person who brought it alive in you.

Give it to others who deem it poor in spirit. Give it to the

world  around you in anyway you can. There is where many

lovers go wrong. Having been so long without love, they

understand love only as a need. They see their hearts as

empty places that will be filled by love, and they begin to

look at love as something that flows to them rather than

from them.

The first blush of new love is filled to overflowing,

but as their love cools, they revert to seeing their love as

need. They cease to be someone who generates love and

instead become someone who seeks love.

They forget that the secret of love is that it is a

gift, and that it can be made to grow only by giving it away.

Remember this, and keep it to your heart. Love has its own

time, its own seasons, and its own reason for coming and

going. You cannot bribe it or coerce it, or reason it into

staying. You can only embrace it when it arrives and give

it away when it comes to you. But if it chooses to leave

from your heart or from the heart of your lover, there is

nothing you can do and there is nothing you should do.

Love always has been and always will be a mystery.

Be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life.
