Lost Love

Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.- Khalil Gibran

Is it true?Do we only realise how much we love when we can love no more.Do we have to lose before we see the light.Read a line last night bout only knowing you were in love when you dead cause otherwise what do you compare it to.We mistaken lust often for love but do we sometimes ignore love by thinking it be lust.Could we be guilty of such a gasthly crime.

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. - Kahlil Gibran

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.
Jean Anouilh
There is love of course. And then there's life, its enemy.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

love, lust and variations thereof, I've never quite got my head around it all. i sometimes wonder if i've ever truly truly loved or if i was merely sanctifying lust.
the journey will lead us to Truth, no doubt.

I think love and lust are almost the same thing.
Except one just lasts longer...that's love.
Lust doesn't last after it's been satisfied.
Interesting quotes from Khalil Gibran, The Prophet is one of my favourite pieces :)

Gibran is brilliant.One is able to find something for any occasion or problem in his works.Have been reading his stuff since std 8 and still find the same if not not more solace and joy
