There are times when we are timid and shy about expressing the love we feel.
For fear of embarrassing the other person, or ourselves, we hesitate to say the actual words " I love you." So we try to communicate the idea in other words. We say take care or remember to eat or be good. But really, these are just other ways of saying I love you. You are important to me. I care what happens to you. I don't want you to get hurt.

We are sometimes very strange people. The only thing we want to say, and the one thing that we should say, is the one thing we don't say. And yet because the feeling is so real, and the need to say it is so strong, were driven to use other words and signs to say what we really mean. And many times the meaning never gets communicated at all and the otherperson is left feeling unloved and unwanted.Therefore, we have to LISTEN FOR LOVE in the words that people are saying to us. Sometimes the explicit words are necessary, but more often, the manner of saying things is even more important. A joyous insult carries more affection and love within the sentiments, which are expressed insincerely.

An impulsive hug says I LOVE YOU even though the words might be saying very different. Any expression of a person's concern for another says I love you.
Sometimes the expression is clumsy, sometimes even cruel. Sometimes we must look and listen very intently for the love that it contains. But itis often there, beneath the surface. We say I love you in many ways- with birthday gifts, and little notes, with smiles and sometimes with tears.Sometimes we show our love by just keeping quiet and not saying a word, atother times by speaking out, even brusquely. We show our love sometimes by impulsiveness.

Many times we have to show our love by forgiving someone who has not listened to the love we have tried to express. The problem in listening for love is that we don't always understand the language of love, which the other person is using.

Listen for love and we will find that the world is a very loving place,after all.

" People say true friends must always hold hands, but true friends don'tneed to hold hands because they know the other hand will always be there."

it hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never finding the courage to let the someone know how you feel.
