love is...

"love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love. 'The perfect love would be one that gives all and expects nothing. It would, of course, be willing and delighted to take anything it was offered; the more the better. but it would ask for nothing. for if one expects nothing and ask nothing, he can never be deceived and disappointed. It is only when love demands that it brings on pain." --- leo buscaglia i have read this long time ago and i still keep this alive inside me, i think the passage he gave is the best i can use to describe what really love is all about - nothing fancy but just pure act of love. too often when we love we always ask or expect love in return, it is very rare that you find someone that will say "this is all i have to give and i wont ask nothing but you to accept it". i always wish i can be like this - someone who can just give BUT just like you, though i give and say i dont want anything back i still hope in my heart that i can get something coz that's the only way (part of me says) that i am accepted in some ways (it;s harder to do that say it is ok and that all is fine). whenever im hurting i have to think about this passage and realized the root of my pain and often it leads to EXPECTATION,,, that is all i can say BUT then again a part of me ask if it's worth it... dont i deserve a better one?... am i too selfish to expect? sure we do expect and it is very hard not to but ONCE you follow the path of the passage above i can assure you that you're on your way of TRUE LOVE and HAPPINESS... im still struggling but each day i am learning and it is fun, i just take it one at a time and i am hoping that maybe one day i'll wake up that i dont have to struggle no more and it is all real and i have it... i wonder how many out there struggles and how many finally have it? let me know and maybe i can learn from you...
