Past Love?

A friend told me the other day, he ran across a woman he fell in love with around a year ago. He was not sure if she saw him or not. He didn't go over to speak to her nor she him.

He went onto say, he knew for the brief moment he saw her again - his love for her was as strong as if they had never been apart. He didn't go into details regarding their relationship. But, I could tell just by the tone of his voice - he was yet in love with this woman.

Let me ask you a question. Have you ever been in love, but it was the wrong time - the wrong place?

It seems as if life stopped. Fear sat in - saying you're never experience love like this again. Will time take away the fear, the longing, the pain, the sleepless night, the feeling of being overwhelmed?

Healing will come. Embrace it - receive it. Again, healing will come. But only when you are ready to receive.

Your life will continue, quietly growing each moment into something new, something different, something that adds gracefully, wonderfully, and completely to what was.

In your own time, you will be given the ability to take simple steps that lie before you. Take one step at a time. You'll find the ability to love again - one moment at a time.

My friend did state - the love he has for this woman will always have a special place in his heart. And, he wouldn't change a thing regarding the love he experienced with her.

Much love,
Joseph
