HEART OF STONE

All about Love

'Love is not jealousy,ambition, fulfillment or becoming;Love is not desire or pleasure' 'When you love, everything will come right.Love has it's own actions'.

Clinton Yves

Love is something different. Love is choosing to serve someone and be with someone in spite of their filthy heart. Love is patient and kind,love is deliberate,love is hard,love is pain and sacrifice. Love is us , this is love babe trust me

Louise uwera

"Every page offers useful nuggets of wisdom to aid the reader in over amour is ultimately a pleasing, upbeat alternative to the slew of coming the fears of total intimacy and of loss hooks view of books that proclaim the demise of love in our cynical time."

"Like love, this book is worth the commitment."

the first love letter i ever wrote was sent to you. just as this book was written to talk to you. Louise you have been my most intimate listener.i will love you always.

in the song of solomon there is this passage that reads:"I found her whom my soul loves,I held him and would not let her go."to holding on,to knowing again that moment of rapture,of recognition where we can face one another as we really are stripped of artifice and pretense,naked and not ashamed.

The most important thing is that, THIS STORY IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY

THE ORIGINALITY OF LOVE

In November 2021 I sat at the side of an indoor class during a tuition lesson,my first time seeing a beautiful well dressed girl. Her physical appearance ,she is slim/petite, relatively narrow waist,a V-shaped tosso,wide chest and broad shoulder. Her eyes are almond-shaped and very dark brown,full-lipped smile and knows how to dress herself. This is all I can say because her beauty can't be explain in world on a piece of paper.

What is love at first sight? How does someone fall in love at first sight?I hate this stupid belief of “love at first sight”.attraction at first sight?Yes. Infatuation at first sight?Yes.Love at first sight? I used to see this on moves and I couldn't believe it, ABSOLUTELY!!! I AM LIVING PROOF. I started having strong feelings towards Louise but I was scared to speak to her and I promised myself one day I will date her and she will be my girlfriend.

One morning during tuition lesson Louise came and sat next to me.'it hot this morning why are you sweating and shaking ' those were words that one of my friend said to me. I ignored him knowing that it all because of Louise sitting next to me and I couldn't with stand her beauty. Later that faithful day one of the boy approached Louise and he was kind of attracted to her beauty and he ask Louise for her phone number which he was given. I felt kind of sad but I had faith on Louise being my Heart.

Back at home during my free time when I was reading the word of God,the bible I come a cross written verse saying faith without action is dead. "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works". I decided to take action by talking to her and she gave me her phone number.

Technology is a beautiful thing, Louise Iand I would chat on Whatsapp and we started knowing each other. She was intelligent,radiant, kindhearted and generous but the most important thing about her she is caring.One of Louise friend by the name Maggie was in love with me which made it difficult for me to win Louise heart because the discussion between the two of them was on Maggie and I .

Day and night I continued to know more about Louise and I found that she was still single even though she had one or two or three people badly in love with him. Since our friendship started growing strong, I wanted to move to the next step which is winning her heart. It took me months to open my mouth Infront of her and say I LOVE YOU LOUISE.

One day I don't know if it was the holy spirit send by Lord speak to her on my behalf. I just told her that l LOVE YOU LOUISE on the phone, I don't know if she was shocked or she was kind of happy. We chat and she ask me many questions," When did you start loving me? how will my fellow friend Maggie feal when she found that we are dating?why do you love me?why choose me instead of my friend?and other that can't be written on paper.

The dawn chorus of melodic birdsong drifted in. The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky. Golden fingers of sunlight lit up the scene. The just-risen sun shone softly on the city streets, bringing with it a flurry of early-morning activity. After completing my morning activities, I took my phone to read my chat's

"YES,YES,YES I LOVE YOU ," those were the first words I could read. 'She said yes,she said yes,she said yes,' on a rising tone. 'Why are you shouting?my mum asked me. 'It's nothing mum I was just trying if I can sing. Those were words I could only tell my mum. Louise and I started dating and our love growed first and strong. I started spending time with her, having fun with her and things that love ones do.
