Because of You, I Learned to Truly Love

By Abdul Haque Essop

Love is not just about using the word to silence your partner in questioning any uncertainties or great concerns. But love should be shown in your actions to eliminate every doubt. It is not about giving your partner the most expensive gift that money can buy. But it has to do with the littlest of things thus showing your love for them, which becomes priceless. Ultimately, love has no price tag because money can buy you a good time, but love enriches your body, mind, heart, and soul.

For a healthy relationship, refrain from hurting your partner in a manner whereby lying and cheating can totally destroy your relationship. Always remember not to hurt and break a heart that was meant to only love you. In the end, you can stand to lose that love and the person who stood by you, although they know your flaws and still completely accepted you.

It is important to note that you shouldnt fool yourself by thinking that you have fooled a person by deceiving and lying to that person who truly loves you and cares about you. Only with time will it be your own guilt that will make you realize that this person always knew, and yet they have constantly forgiven you. Finally, you will certainly hurt when the day you lose that person forever by knowing that you continuously broke their trust. Take heed. When you love from your soul and someone breaks you down completely then those invisible tears become the most difficult to wipe away.

To sum up my message to the world, this is my deepest and sincerest belief: Love is not who loves the other more or less but to whether your love for each other is sincere and true. Love is not who was there only when you always smiled but who was there to make you feel better when you broke down and cried. Love is not about who is right or wrong but how you work on the issues and keep your love growing strong. Love is not how many times you thought to walk away but how long you stayed in love and kept your relationship alive.

Abdul Haque Essop

My name is Abdul Haque Essop as in A. H. E. I am a hopeless romantic, and even though I’m well educated, I believe that a person doesn’t need a university degree to fall in love or to write on the aspects of love. Even though I was hurt in the past, I still believe in love, as it is the most awesome feeling. I truly believe that if couples can respect their love for each other, understanding love, returning love, and staying in love is what makes the subject on love very beautiful. Love is described in many languages, but the heart only understands feelings and emotions. These quotes and poems are written with true and deep feelings from my heart for the love of my life. Writing little messages for her inspired me to start writing more in depth of my feelings for her, and I decided to use this opportunity to inspire lovers and those broken hearted to not give up on love, even though they have had their hearts broken. It is an awesome feeling when my friends say “Thank you for that quote” as it made their day. My quotes and poems are all written on pictures, which adds essence to the words, and in most instances, it gives emotions to the picture. As we may have heard a famous quote that says, “A picture can describe a thousand words,” so is love like a painting that can either be beautiful or sad with a person always behind it. I’m sure there are some great writers and poets who have written on all aspects of love and have inspired the world, but it is important to note that love is not everything that is described in books. I always say that love resides in every heart. All you need is for that special person to enter into your life and to awaken those profound and deep feelings that you never knew were buried in the depths of your heart and soul.
