    The many faces of love!
    This was written by me...hopefully it makes sense! Tell me what you guys think and if I should change anything about it. Thanks!



    When people think of love-they normally see nothing but good things. When in reality, love has many faces- they don't see all of the difficulties it can bring.

    Love can show up on your doorsteps at any given moment in time; It can make you do anything-even as far as committing a crime.

    You can love just about anything or anyone as you please; Love can build you up or it can bring you to your knees.

    When love comes into your life-cherish it every second it is given to you; Because once it is gone-it will leave you feeling blue.

    Love is a difficult word to describe-no matter how hard you might try; You hear people saying it all the time but you will know when they are telling a lie.

    The best thing you can do for someone who loves you is to love them back; I love everyone but myself and that's what I lack.

    To truly love yourself is the key to success; To love yourself is the key to happiness.

    They say, "love conquers all" and that's something I believe in; Love only has a beginning, but to love there is no end.

    When you love someone- you will forever love who they are; Love is a beautiful thing but beware! Love can leave a scar!!!!

    I do like it overall. But, for me, there would be some things that I would change. I will let you know when you respond as to what I might change. But first I am curious as to why you wrote this, please?

    Very impressive.. I love poetry and you are very talented. May I offer one change that is truly not necessary but just opinion? I think on the line that starts "you can love just about anything" maybe you could say "You can love just about anyone, but it comes with both prizes and fees, it can build you up or it can bring you to your knees". This way the first part not only leads into the second, but almost reiterates what it is saying. Again it's just opinion. I hope to read more of your work! You have a lot of talent, not to mention writing is a GREAT way to relieve stress and to get things off your mind.

    Thank you... I have so many more poems that I've written since I've been going thought this healing process of mine... I'd love to share them with you and the world!

    I like how you wrote that one part... is it okay if I used it?

    I'd love to hear your opinions to make it better... that'd be great!

    Well, the I have many reasons I wrote this. If you were to read my other posts, maybe you could get a better understanding.

    Thank you! I will take a look at your other posts.

    What you have written is meant to be some kind of poem. Correct? I just would appreciate clarification on that.

    Yes... you are correct... At least I think it's a poem... would it be considered that?

    There are many different kinds and types of poems. It has formations of a type of poem.

    Is there a particular reason that you put it into the Dating section of this site?

    There wasn't any particular reason... I sort of figured it should go in the dating section because it's about love... But then again, I'm not so sure.

    It seems to me that even though it's about love, it is about writing. It is meant to be a poem. What do you think about that?

    Not sure... I'm confused... :confused:

    Sorry! I'm not meaning to confuse you! I'm just trying to get a handle on where you are in your thoughts and also what your intentions are as far as presenting something on this site that is meant to be in a poetry or prose kind of context.

    What I am thinking is that your thread here that you have started, might have a better home over in the Writing topic area of this site. I am also suggesting that maybe it would be good if it were to be moved over to that section. Since it appears that you are writing a poem, then it will attract more people who are interested in poetry over there. People like artists and writers are much more likely to look at that section than the Dating section.

    What would you think about moving this thread over to the Writing topic area of this site?

    It's no problem me moving it... I thought that since it was about love, it'd go in the dating section. I wasn't trying to find people attracted to poetry and writing... it was meant to attract people in general. Dating is about love... just thought someone could use the poem before jumping into a relationship.

    Okay then, that does clarify things. Then, in my opinion, it should stay in this topic area. You aren't interested in the writing aspect so much as helping people to get ideas when they are dating people. Correct?

    Would you mind if I edited your original post a little and then placed it on a post here and then see what you think about it? Thanks!

    Yep, you're correct and no I wouldn't mind you redoing it in your own words and seeing what people think of it. That'd be cool!
