Is This Love

If you love a girl
Enough to want to give her the whole world,
Give her a life where she does not have to live with regret or guilt.

How can you tell is she is the one
You want to spend your life with?
You must see her in all kinds of conditions and emotions -
Happy, sad, angry, frustrated, working, playing, dreaming.
Go tramping, fishing, reading, building, swimming, painting, running.
Play football, netball, Monopoly, tennis, chess, squash, Scrabble.
You can be alone together even in a crowd.
When you are in private - act as if you are in public.

If she is not the one for you,
Let her go, knowing you have treated her well.
