The word Unconditional means" without limitations." Perhaps a more complete definittion of the term, though, is " without limitations and without regrets." When we love others unconditionally, we acknowledge their shortcomings and do not judge them. They may frustrate us with broken promises, disappoint us with unfulfilled tasks, test our patience, and at times drive us crazy for loving them, but we never regret loving them for who they are and are willing to embrace the heartburn that may come with that decision. This is different from conditional love, where failing to meet certain expectations or provisions in a relationship can be a major source of regret that may ultimately end the relationship.
I am blessed that in my lifetime, I was loved by many. However,there was always conditional love in all my relationships. It was only after the demise of my loved one that I know what unconditional love is. With that, I gave myself a chance to be loved once more by a great man. For the first time,there was no expectation from being with this person. All we wanted was to be happy together. I just want us to really enjoy being together for as long as possible. At the end of the day, I choose to be with him knowing that he may hurt me the most.
Though the relationship has no happy ever, there was no regret on my part. I had choose to Live life with no regrets and by accepting him and having him in my life for a brief moment was already a blessing. I think I will never love another the way I love him. He has become part of me that when we parted, a major part of me just died. The pain was unbearable and I pray that I will not have to go through this pain ever.
