Jewel – Ten Lyrics 15 years ago
First off, LOVE...true love, is not easy. It takes work and it takes time. To anyone who has ever been in love, know that it takes a cooperative effort; a mutual friendship AND passion.

Secondly, you will fight. You WILL have your ups and downs and your differences. No couple, that is worth anything, will go without a feud. And I'm not talking about physical fights...I'm talking about heated discussions/debates, opposing opinions, and conflicting interests. Those are the moments that fill the voids between happiness. The times you DON'T take a picture together. But, those are also the moments that lead you both to realize you are individuals...separate people who find amazing beauty in each other, no matter the circumstance(s). When you each find perfection with each others' imperfections.

Thirdly, please don't make rash decisions, portray hatred, or blurt out negative comments toward the one you love. Actions speak louder than words, but you must realize in an instant the wrong phrase or the wrong statement at the wrong time, may cost you the most precious relationship you'll ever know.

Treasure what you have...don't throw out hurtful words carelessly...and for those fortunate enough to get a second chance after all has been said and done...PLEASE count your blessings.

(As for my opinion on the "meaning" of the song: It's about a girl/guy who wants to leave/hate the significant other they love...but no matter the circumstances, they find true happiness in each other. They fight, but after all is said and done, they can't come to terms with leaving and come together/embrace as one...and thank God for being blessed with the special bond they share.)

*Live with no excuses...and love with no regrets*
