While walking down the street, I heard an old man say, I've been in love with the same woman for almost 50 years now. I was touched until I heard him say ... I only wished she knew.
If I love someone, truly love them I always tell them. Even if it’s not returned to the extent it’s given, at least I know they know. ~ Adrienne Michelle
We can not offer an opinion because we don’t know the circumstance of his love condition. Love is a many splendor human virtue and very spiritual in nature, better to speak clearly about this, however I have the feeling the person he is honoring in this statement once knew, and loved him deeply. The human condition is mysterious,and multi dimensional, only those up in years, and rich in experience know how to understand this. Also there are many kinds of love, and they all add up to the need to love, and be loved in return, in the end it doesn’t matter who loved us, but who did we love. ~ Jenny Van Karels
Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'- Erich Fromm
