WHAT ARE WORDS FOR
WHEN NO ONE LISTENS
WHAT ARE WORDS FOR
WHEN NO ONE LISTENS,
THERE'S NO USE TALKING AT ALL
( ... MISSING PERSONS)

If we don't listen to the one we love, there is no relationship. Words can be meaningless and empty if the one we care about most, can't hear us. Love can happen in an instant with just a spark, but that spark alone can't keep the fire burning, or the love alive and well for a lifetime. You can't have a deep meaningful long-lasting relationship without a true commitment to each other. The commitment must be based on total and complete unconditional love, honesty and trust.

Love isn't supposed to hurt but it sometimes does. Love isn't about screaming or being cruel but sometimes it can be. We can't be so damn head-strong that we can't say we're sorry or that we're wrong and mean it. In our love relationships does having to be right mean more than the feelings of our significant other? If you think it is, then you need to take a long hard look at yourself.

From my experience, I've found that it doesn't hurt too much to let something go. The moment of swallowing your pride can turn into a moment of solid gold. It's more important for your partner to feel they matter than for your to hold onto some senseless stupidity. To humble oneself in the name of love is not a weakness. It shows an inner strength that is honorable.

I came from a very dysfunctional family. My dumb-ass dad married and divorced my mother twice. If I had been my father, I would have shot myself in the head and saved myself a life of misery. No matter what my dad did or gave to my mother, she was never happy or satisfied. Though my father never loved or cared about me, I always felt sorry for him. I didn't have a positive role model to show me how relationships and love work. Nobody gave me a roadmap to point me in the right direction. My lessons of love came the old fashioned way, I earned them.

I've never been married for obvious reasons. They say ladies love outlaws, but they don't love them for long. In addition, my priorities and understanding of how love and relationships function were way out of wack. My understanding did not have any real origin in reality.

We're fortunate that we as human beings can live, learn and change. I know that without a doubt that I've grown and can be a good love interest. I'm a little wild but loving, and I'm totally committed to making love last forever. I want to be the man my girl can come running to. She doesn't have to hide who she desires to be. I would hope that I made her feel secure in our relationship so that if she felt unloved, unfulfilled or her needs weren't being met, she could talk to me. She would know that I had listened, understood and would do whatever necessary to work it out. I would hope she'd also treat me with the same respect.

Love is a full-time job. Life is too short to be in any relationship where you are being mistreated. We have only a short time upon our Mother earth. I want a simple love. A simple life, with good decent friends and a wife who loves me because I am a man worth loving.

As much as I want unconditional love, it must also be given willingly. If your love life isn't full of all the great loving things of life, then it isn't real love. Never feel alone in this world or that you're trapped in an unloving relationship. There will always be someone out there who will love you like you deserve to be loved. Have faith.

In love and life we must do what we have to do if we want to make it work. I would walk a million miles through hell for a woman who could love me faithfully and unconditionally. I can't change the past. What has been done in my life is done. True love can't survive an outlaw lifestyle or prison. It's my time to let it go and let my love and my heart soar like the eagle. I can't go back and I can never regain my childhood innocence. I have beat myself up more and punished myself more than anyone else could because of my own life's failures. I have let deep emotional scares and pain rule my world until I have felt dead inside. I'm no angel. I've made a million mistakes before I learned that love truly is the greatest lesson I've learned in my life. It is the most powerful force on earth and it's the only thing that can save us from ourselves.

Sexual desire or a chemical attraction can only sustain you for so long. I had to learn this the hardway. I kick myself in the ass for the short sightedness and lack of good judgement I demonstrated in past relationships. With love you must be willing to be open minded enough and respect each other enough to listen and communicate truthfully, honestly and faithfully. It's not about who is wrong or who is right. It's about validating what your partner feels. Who of us has the right to dictate what our love interest is feeling emotionally?

I'm an old fashioned guy at heart. I may have to seek myself a wife of a different race and culture perhaps from a third world country who hasn't been ruined by our Americanism. The materialistic drive to keep up with the Jones. We have been dooped into beliving our happiness lies within items only money can buy. I could live in a dirt hut and be happy as long as I had a wife who loved me and could share her life with me, through the thick and thin, for better or worse - till death do us part. It's her and me against the world.

LOVE IS EVERYTHING. WITHOUT IT, WE HAVE NOTHING!

to be ale to spend your life in your own way"
