Dear Forlorn Jade do reflect on this.

Dalam satu kisah percintaan yang menarik. Sepasang suami isteri berjalan di tepi sebuah tasik yang indah. Kemudian mereka berhenti di sebuah bangku yang disediakan di tepi tasik. Kemudian si isteri bertanya kepada sisuami. Ini dialog mereka

Isteri : Mengapa abang menyukai saya? Mengapa abang cintakan saya?

Suami : Abang tidak boleh menerangkan sebabnya, namun begitu abang memang menyayangi dan mencintai Sayang!

Isteri : Abang tak boleh terangkan sebabnya? Bagaimana abang boleh katakan abang sayang dan cintakan saya sedangkan abang tidak boleh menerangkannya.

Suami : Betul! Abang tak tahu sebabnya tetapi abang boleh buktikan bahawa abang memang cintakan Sayang!

Isteri : Tak boleh beri bukti! Tidak! Saya hendak abang terangkan kepada saya sebabnya. Kawan-kawan saya yang lain yang mempunyai suami dan teman lelaki, semuanya tahu menerangkan mengapa mereka mencintai. Dalam bentuk puisi dan syair lagi. Namun begitu abang tidak boleh terangkan sebabnya

Si suami menarik nafas panjang dan dia berkata "Baiklah! Abang mencintai Sayang sebab sayang cantik, mempunyai suara yang
merdu, penyayang dan mengingati abang selalu. Abang juga sukakan senyuman manis dan setiap tapak Sayang melangkah! , di situlah cinta Abang bersama Sayang!"

Si isteri tersenyum dan berpuas hati dengan penerangan suaminya tadi.

Namun begitu selang beberapa hari si isteri mengalami kemalangan dan koma.

Si suami amat bersedih dan menulis sepucuk surat kepada isterinya yang
disayangi. Surat itu diletakkan di sebelah katil isterinya dihospital.
Surat tersebut berbunyi begini :

"Sayang!Jika disebabkan suara aku mencintai mu... sekarang bolehkah
engkau bersuara? Tidak! Oleh itu aku tidak boleh mencintai mu.

Jika disebabkan kasih sayang dan ingatan aku mencintaimu...sekarang bolehkah engkau menunjukkannya? Tidak! Oleh itu aku tidak boleh mencintai mu.

Jika disebabkan senyuman aku mencintai mu... sekarang bolehkah engkau tersenyum? Tidak! Oleh itu aku tidak boleh mencintai mu.

Jika disebabkan setiap langkah aku mencintai mu.... sekarang bolehkah engkau melangkah? Tidak! Oleh itu aku tidak boleh mencintai mu.

Jika cinta memerlukan sebabnya, seperti sekarang. Aku tidak mempunyai sebab mencintai mu lagi.

Adakah cinta memerlukan sebab? Tidak! Aku masih mencintai mu dulu, kini,selamanya dan cinta tidak perlu ada sebab. Kadangkala perkara tercantik dan terbaik di dunia tidak boleh dilihat, dipegang. Namun begitu... ia boleh dirasai dalam hati."

Any definition is purely artificial
and limited by circumstances.You win some, you lose some..life must go on.Definitions are boundaries one set for idealistic needs.

If you’ve got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites

When you make love, do you look in the mirror?
Who do you think of?
Does he look like me?
Do you tell lies?
And say that it’s forever?
Do you think twice, or just touch ’n’ see?
Ooh babe
Ooh yeah
When you’re alone, do you let go?
Are you wild ’n’ willin’ or is it just for show?
Ooh c’mon

I don’t wanna touch you too much baby
’cos making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don’t wanna be there when you decide to break it
No!

(love bites, love bleeds)
It’s bringin’ me to my knees
(love lives, love dies)
It’s no surprise
(love begs, love pleads)
It’s what I need

When I’m with you are you somewhere else?
Am I gettin’ thru or do you please yourself?
When you wake up will you walk out?
It can’t be love if you throw it about
Ooh babe
I don’t wanna touch you too much baby
’cos making love to you might drive me crazy
Oh

Ooh yeah
(love bites, love bleeds)
It’s bringin’ me to my knees
(love lives, love dies)
(love bites, love bleeds)
It’s bringin’ me to my knees
(love lives, love dies)
It’s no surprise
(love begs, love pleads)
It’s what I need

If you’ve got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites
Yes it does
It will be hell
