If you love someone....

You know that old saying....

"If you love someone....
set them free.
If they come back to you...
they're yours.
If they don't....
they never were......."

What a load of CRAP!!!!!!
If you love someone, it's hard work to keep the relationship mutually satisfying.
The easiest thing to do would be to "let them go" when they show their warts. Is that the right thing to do? We all need someone to fight for us and to fight for what is important to us.
It take two to make the dance good.
Sometimes you have to lead, sometimes you follow, but both should be engaged in the dance itself.
The relationship that follows is it's own reward.
I'm changing that old saying! I think it should say:

"If you love someone, love them through the hard times as well as the good.
When they see that you are committed to loving them even if it's hard, they will love you, in return.
If they stick by you....through it all...
then they will know the truth..... that Love never fails."

Don't we all deserve to be loved like that????
I know I do.
Thank you, family and friends, for loving me, warts and all, and when you show your warts....know that I'll still love you in return.

Me;-)
