A sentimentalist or not...

While sitting here & listening to my favorite melody, something had crossed my mind...Countless days have passed, when someone has asked me before if I am a sentimentalist. I have no straight answer for that, perhaps I am , or in some degree, but I don't want to categorize myself solely with that word. All I know is that when I learn and grow to love someone, that affection lasts for a long long time. For my significant others and to all my selected friends,I love them and outrageously care for them. In times of trials and uncertainties I chose to stay by their side, to make them feel that they are not alone nor will I forsake them in times of troubles. And to love and care for them in the best way possible, unconditionally.
To learn how to see them through my heart and not thru a pair of critical eyes. Whom most of the time passed judgement unjustly.Praying and hoping at the same time that their conscience will guide them in the right path and do what is right and correct their wrong thoughts and actions...Sincerely believe that these things exists in the hearts of all humanity. Some may raise their eyebrows and smirk at my ideals, or say that I am too naive and too trusting. I will not pass judgement on them but instead, pity them. For they are lost souls whom have not learned nor experienced the thru essence of love. For love with trust defines the meaning of the "ultimate love" that has eluded most of us here on the land that was born and created out of our Lord God's great & eternal love for us.
I shall pause here and say no more, I don't want to sound like dead heroes or heroines of the past. These are just my own thoughts and beliefs that I happen to share with you. Whoever you are, who may come across my writings and patient enough to read this posting.
Goodnight to all and may you all sleep soundly tonight and dream beautiful dreams. These words shall be in my prayers tonight.
