The key to love is understanding...the ability to comprehend not only the spoken word,
but those unspoken gestures,
the little things that say so much by themselves...
The key to love is forgiveness...
to accept each other's faults and pardon mistakes,
without forgetting - but with remembering what you learn from them...
The key to love is trust...
though dark doubts lie in hollowed thoughts,
it must shine brightly on with reassuring radiance
that suppresses fear with faith...
The key to love is sharing...
facing your good fortunes as well as the bad, together
both conquering problems - forever searching for ways
to intensify your happiness...
The key to love is giving...
without thought of return,
but with the hope of just a simple smile and by giving in,
but never up...
The key to love is respect...
realizing that you are two separate people with different ideas,
that you don't belong to each other,
but that you belong with each other and share a mutual bond...
The key to love is inside us all...
it takes time and patience to unlock all the ingredients
that will take you to its threshold,
it is a continual learning process that demands a lot of work...
but the rewards are more than worth the effort...
