Some Say Love...

Love is something that means many other meanings. Love means commitment, trust, sacrifice, and happiness to name a few. These are the things I believe should be present in a relationship in order to have love but there also needs to be an initial connection between two people. If these other things come in in the relationship, then I truly believe there is love. That person should love you for who you are and enjoy being around you all the time. A best friend can do these things too but I think it is important to have a best friend separate from a soul mate. There is still love for both but your soul mate should be the person you get that feeling about and know they are right for you. Most songs today talk about love in different types of relationships. The following songs include different messages about love.

"I'm Gonna Love you Through It" by Martina McBride
In this song, Martina McBride talks about a woman with three young kids and a husband who finds out she has cancer. Throughout her battle and struggles, her husband shows his love and describes what love should be and mean in a relationship. It is a great song because it talks about the importance of being there for your partner no matter what happens and being the person they can count on for anything. This is a key characteristic of a soul mate and something that should be present in true love relationships.

"When you’re weak, I’ll be strong
When you let go, I’ll hold on
When you need to cry, I swear that I’ll be there to dry your eyes
When you feel lost and scared to death,
Like you can’t take one more step
Just take my hand, together we can do it
I’m gonna love you through it."

"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith
In this song, love is clearly seen. If you truly love a person, you should treasure the time spent with them. This should be true for all relationships, whether it be with family or friends. If you truly care about that person, you will really enjoy your time spent with them and long for them to always be present in your life.

"Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby "

"Love's Gonna Make it Alright" by George Strait
In this song, love (of course) is seen as the thing that matters most. Love is the main thing that can heal a person. The care and support from another can mean so much to a person and get them through their troubles. We need to love and accept ourselves to help ourselves overcome our own problems as well as those of others because love makes the world go round. Love should mean support for another in all things.

"When the world isn’t going your way
Or ever bad luck is getting you down.
Honey I will be right here for you with open arms,
you can run to me.
Baby, loves gonna make it, loves gonna make it alright"

"Without You" by David Guetta
In this song, there is definitely love, but love that is not reciprocated. Although not to this extent, if you love someone it should be very sad being separated from that person. This happens alot in relationships, where the one person may leave the other to take a break, and then realize that they miss that person. In other cases, this may also make the partner realize how much they love that person when they are gone.

"I won't soar, I won't climb
If you're not here I'm paralyzed without you, without you"

"Sparks Fly" by Taylor Swift
This song by Taylor Swift talks about a boy she wishes she were with. He is everything she wants and she imagines their relationship. She has a physical attraction towards him and really likes the way he smiles. In this song, we see the possible start of a relationship with the physical attraction.

" 'Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile"
