Love Is Like a Pansy (First Love)

*Maybe when we were young, we all made solemn promises to each other, like:

"If you're still single at thirty, and I'm still single too, then you can marry me, and I'll marry you."

*Maybe we thought the road to happiness would be full of unknowns and obstacles, like:

"All these years, I've worked so hard because I was carrying your hopes for me!

But now you've made me find out from the newspaper that you're getting married!"

*Maybe someone right beside you has been quietly watching over you, without your ever noticing, like:

"After all these years together, I foolishly thought you'd eventually realize how I feel about you."

*Maybe love really did trip us up badly, but believe me, someone will eventually look at you tenderly and say:

"Marry me. I'll stay by your side, and we'll keep walking together, always."

The language of the pansy is: I await your love.

Love is like a pansy,

because love has to withstand time, ordinary life, and waiting.

A warm wish for you:

Love can begin in a thousand different ways, but its endings are simple: you part, or you stay together.

This simple either-or choice has troubled so many couples.

Those of us feeling our way through love often think the romance we hold in our hands is love, and that a single "I love you" is enough to give someone all our heart.

Little do we know that an even more moving phrase than "I love you" is "Let's be together."

In love, there are no winners or losers. It takes effort from both of you.

I hope that if love is right in front of you, you'll cherish it and make it work.

There is no such thing as the perfect lover, only the one who is right for you.
