What Is Love?

Those who don't like it call it a responsibility
Those who play with it call it a game
Those who don't have it call it a dream
Those who love, call it destiny

Sometimes God who knows the best
will give us sorrow as a test
Sometimes He will wound the heart
for greater wisdom to impart

If we lose love, we lose it for a reason
That reason may be hard to understand
but whatever it is, we just have to believe
that God takes away when He has
something better to give

Why wait?
Because although we want to be decisive
we do not want to be impulsive
Although we want to be swift
we do not want to be hasty
Although we want to hold on to the one we love
we do not want to lose ourselves in the process

If we want to run, we must first learn to walk
If we want to swim, we must first learn to float
If we want to make love, we must first learn to love

In the end, it is still best to wait for the one we want
rather than settle for the one that is available
It is still best to wait for the one you love
rather than settle for the one who is around
It is still best to wait for the right person

Because life is too short to waste on the wrong one
Because waiting serves a purpose
Noble and mysterious, you have to know
that flowers do not bloom overnight

Rome was not built in a day
A life grows in the womb for nine months
Great love grows steadily over a lifetime
Most good things in life take a long time
And they are all worth waiting for

These, despite the fact, that although waiting
requires a lot of things - faith, courage, and hope
waiting guarantees nothing one cannot imagine

After all, God in all His wisdom
asks us to wait, for no essential reason.
