A relationship is placing one's heart and soul in the hands of another while taking charge of another in one's soul and heart.

- Kahlil Gibran

 

When we enter a relationship, we don't often think or see beyond the physical being.  We are attracted to the body, face or personality.  We may like what that person does or how they do it and want to be a part of that.  We may even experience a pull from within that we can't actually explain.  But how often do we stop to consider the true depth of the person we are attracted to?  There is a being before us who has a past, present and future.  There is flesh and bones, hurts and scars, feelings, thoughts and ideals.  When we enter the world of another being we must be willing to be a part of it all.  When someone entrusts their heart to you they are giving you a piece of their soul.  You cannot treat a soul casually.  You must protect, nurture and handle it with care.  Our interactions with one another go far beyond the face, body and hair.  One other thing we must consider when we enter someone's heart, there is a heart and soul inside of us of which they play a part.

I respect the heart, mind and soul of my friends and lovers.
