A girl in love asked her boyfriend...

Girl : Tell me... who do you love most in this world?
Boy: You, of course!
Girl : In your heart, what am I to you?
Boy : The boy thought for a moment and looked intently in her eyes and said, "You are my rib."

In the Bible, it was said that God saw that Adam was lonely, during his sleep; God took one of Adam's rib and created Eve. Every man has been searching for his missing rib, only when you find the woman of your life; you'll no longer feel the lingering ache in your heart.

After their wedding, the couple had a sweet and happy life for long while... However, the youthful couple, due to busy schedule of modern life, the never ending worries of daily problems, began to drift apart and their life became mundane...

All the challenges posed by the harsh realities of life began to gnaw away their dreams and love for each other... The couple began to have more quarrels and each quarrel became more heated...

One day, after the quarrel, the girl ran out of the house... At the opposite side of the road, she shouted, "You don't love me!" The boy hated her childishness and out of impulse, retorted, "Maybe, it was a mistake for us to be together! You were never my missing rib!" Suddenly, she turned quiet and stood there for a long while... He regretted what he said but words spoken are like thrown away water, you can never take it back...

With tears, she went home to pack her things and was determined in breaking-up. Before she left the house, "If I'm really not your missing rib, please let me go..." she continued, "It is less painful this way... let us go on our separate ways and search for our own partners..."

Five years have since gone by... He had never remarried but he had tried to find out about her life indirectly... She had left the country and back... She had married a foreigner and divorced... He felt anguished that she never waited for him...

In one dark and lonely night, he lit his cigarette and felt the lingering ache in his heart... He couldn't bring himself to admit that he was missing her...

One day, they finally met... at the airport, a place where there were many reunions and good-byes... He was going away on a business trip. She was standing there alone, with just the security door separating them... She smiled at him gently...

Boy: How are you?
Girl: I'm fine. How about you... Have you found your missing rib?
Boy: No.
Girl: I'll be flying to New York in the next flight.
Boy: I'll be back in 2 weeks time. Give me a call when you are back. You know my number... nothing has changed. With a smile, she turned around and waved good-bye...

Good-bye... is it forever not meeting each other again? One week later, he heard of her death... She had perished in New York... in the event that shocked the world...

Midnight... Once again, he lit his cigarette... And like before, he felt the lingering ache in his heart... He finally knew, she was his missing rib that he had carelessly broken...

Sometimes, ppl say things out of moments of fury....most often than not, the outcome(s) could be disasterous and detrimental.... We vent our frustrations 99% at our loved ones.... And even tho' we know that we ought to "think twice act wise", it's often easier said than done.

Things happen day by day which are beyond our control... Especially at this moment of the century when the most undesirable event is happening at the other end of the world..... Let us treasure every moment of our lives and everyone in our lives.....

Tomorrow never comes; give and take what you have today. You yearn for what you fantasize than to realise who you should treasure.

Falling in love
Y
When you think of your past love, you may view it as a failure.
But when you find a new love, you view the past as a teacher.
In the game of love, it doesn't really matter who won or who lost.
What is important is you know when to hold on and when to let go.
You know you really love someone when you want them to be happy, even if their happiness means that you're not part of it.
Everything happens for the best.

If the person you love doesn't love you back, don't be afraid to love someone else again, for you'll never know unless you give it a try.
You'll never love a person you love unless you risk for love.
Love strives in hurting.
If you don't get hurt, you don't learn how to love.
Love doesn't hurt all the time.

The hurting is still there to test you, and to help you grow.
Don't find love, let love find you.
That's why it's called falling in love because you don't force yourself to fall.
You just fall.
You cannot finish a book without closing its chapters.
If you want to go on, then you have to leave the past as you turn the pages.

Love is not destroyed by a single failure or won by a single caress.
It's a lifetime in which we are always learning, discovering and growing.
The greatest irony of love is letting go when you need to hold on and holding on when you need to let go.
We lose someone we love only when we are destined to find someone else who can love us even more than we can love ourselves.

On falling out of love, take some time to heal and then get back on the horse.
But don't even make the same mistake of riding the same one that threw you off the first time.
To love is to risk rejection, to live is to risk dying, to hope is to risk failure.

But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
To reach for another is to risk involvement, to expose your feelings is to expose true self; to love is to risk not to be loved in return.
How to define love: fall but do not stumble, be constant but not too persistent, share and never be unfair, understand and try not to demand, hurt but never keep the pain.

Love is like a knife.
It can stab the heart or it can carve wonderful images into the soul that will last for a lifetime.
Love is supposed to be the most wonderful feeling.
It should inspire you and give you joy and strength.

But sometimes the things that give you joy can also hurt you in the end.
Loving people means giving them the freedom who they choose to be and where they choose to be.
For all the heartaches and the tears, for gloomy days and fruitless years, you should give thanks, for you know, that there were the things that helped you grow.

Loving someone means giving them the freedom to find their way, whether it leads him towards you or away from you.
Love is a painful risk to take but the risk must be taken no matter how scary or painful, for only then you'll experience the fullness of humanity and that is love.

Only love can hurt your heart, fill you with desire and tear you apart.
Only love can make you cry and only love knows why.
If your're not ready to cry, if you're not ready to take the risk, if you're not ready to feel the pain, then you're not ready to fall in love.

There was a time in our lives when we became afraid to fall in love cause every time we did, we got hurt, then I figured that's why it's called falling in love.
