Why does it seem like something that should be so simple, can become so complicated? Girl meets Girl and they live happily ever after. How often do we see that happen. We all brag about the long term couples we know but usually they can be counted upon one hand. I think we are trying to convince ourselves that we will reach the end of the rainbow and that elusive thing called "love" will there and embrace us and cherish us.So often the norm is unrequited love. I love her but she loves someone else. Someone loves me but I love someone else. However, even with my track record of unrequited love or failed relationships, within me , still holds a belief dear to my heart that someday my true love will come. This page is for those who dare to love despite the odds. This page is for those who have experienced broken hearts as a result of unrequited love. For those who have been betrayed at the hands of someone you loved  You gave your heart away but they did not appreciate the gift you were giving them.
The greatest gift of all is love. Love is like breathing air;we need it for our existence. There is quiet love, passionate love and that slow steady love in which each moment together feels so right. Love has many definitions for many. For me, love is to love someone with all my heart and in turn feel cherished and loved. It should be so simple , but love is never simple!

After a while you learn
the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul.

And you learn that love does not mean leaning,
and company does not always mean security.

And you begin to learn that kisses are not contracts
and presents are not promises.

And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up
and your eyes ahead with the grace of an adult,
not the grief of a child.

And you learn to build all your roads on today because
tomorrow's ground is too uncertain, for plans
and futures have a way of falling down in flight.

After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you
get too much. So you plant your own garden and
decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone
to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure that you really
are strong and you really do have worth.

And you learn and you learn with every good-bye you learn.
