A WORD OF ADVICE

Think before you react,
When you are angry or frustrated,
take a few minutes to think things through.
Words are very complicated,
and can be easily misunderstood,
the words themselves or the way they are spoken.

Words can affect someone very deeply.
You can't reach out and take them back.
You can be forgiven for speaking them,
but never are they forgotten.
Words touch where hand's can't.

Feelings are very difficult
and they can change at any moment,
to become stronger or to weaken.
Sometimes, with time,
sometimes with situations.
Make sure when you let someone go,
you're 100% you'll never want them back.
Don't take a chance on losing them forever.

Love is a confusing emotion.
It is hard not to push and let it move on, on it's own.
You can love someone with all your heart,
and it be unexplainable of how much.

When declaring this love,
it may not touch the person the way you'd want it to.
To some, those are ordinary words,
that they can't or don't comprehend.

Many times love is unreturned.
Try to be strong and not cry for days at a time.
Don't be pushed by others to move forward,
you will know when you are ready to take your first step.

When that decision has been made,
remember why you loved that person in the beginning.
Don't do anything intentionally to hurt them.
It will only tear them up inside, into particles
that will only remain in your life as memories.

Don't leave a person upset, reaching out for you,
if you honestly love them,
tell them how you feel.
You never know if you will be presented again,
a chance to do so.
Life on earth, is not promised,
nor is it stated when your time will be to leave.

When hurtful words are spoken,
figure out where they are coming from.
The eyes and mouth may speak different languages.
That is why tears fall like raindrops from the eyes,
the eyes tell no lies.
If the love is real, you'll know.

Just look deep into their eyes,
and if you find the secret to your life,
is locked within them,
then you'll know they love you,
and you can then distinquish if they are honestly scared
to death of loving you and being with you,
only scared of committment,
or if they are only unwilling of committment to you.

Yes, it's hard to tell,
if you have to ask,
don't let one more day go by,
not knowing if they feel the same.

Everyday is given to you as a gift.
Spend time with the one's you love.
Take no one for granted.
Love them even when it's not in them to love you back.

Keep them n a pedastal at all times,
things go wrong,
when we feel unappreciated.

Do what it takes, to take care of them.
Love them with all your heart, and tell them so,
never push them away...
         for they may not return,
and your life may be filled with regrets.
