you can hold my hand if you want to, cause i want to hold yours too

the "in love experience" temporarily meets one's emotional need for love. it gives us the feeling that someone cares, that someone admires and appreciates us. our emotions soar with thoughts that another person sees us as number one, that he or she is willing to devote time and energies exclusively to our relationship. for a brief period, however long it lasts, our emotional need for love is met.

in time, however, we come down from that natural high back to the real world. meeting the need in one's partner is definitely a choice. if i learn the emotional love language of my partner and use it frequently, he or she will continue to feel loved. when he or she comes down from the obsession of the "in love experience", he or she will hardly even miss it because her emotional love tank will continue to be filled. however, if i have not learnt his or her love language and have chosen not to use it, when he or she descends from the emotional high, he or she will have the natural yearning of unmet emotional need. after some time of living with an empty love tank, he or she will likely "fall in love" with someone else and the cycle will begin again.

"give, and it will be given to you. a good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. for with measure you use, it will be measured to you."

"I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you..Do to others as you would have them do to you. If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even "sinners" love those who love them."
