In love, ME first?

 

In love, ME first?

Sometimes, we become eager to get something,

such as words, attitudes, gifts, and changes,

from someone whom we love but desire at the same time.

And all through the begging from being vague to visible,

we tend to forget that 

we actually did not give what we demand to others.

Experiencing disheartening letdowns from others (technically from our distorted anticipation),

we lose the chance to enjoy the bliss of giving out, expressing, and focusing on loving rather than being loved. 

Then again,

it might have been faster 

for us to make the one experience what we want to experience.

A sweet wake-up call on time.

A lovey-dovey text saying

 "I want you to be here, eat this tasty food, and dance closely with this amazing background music." 

A surprise gift or event that might have been cringe.

A clumsy but sincere comfort.

A burst of simultaneous laughter or tears.

Astral eyes, saying that I am like a glowing star.

An earnest and lingering letter.

An unfearing, audacious, unpredictable, but heartfelt utterance,

"I love you.

I need you.

I missed you.

I will be with you always."

Those expectations that I thought were mine 

always turn out to be the one that my man has wanted for so long, eagerly just like me. 

Let's be accustomed to acting before accusing the one.

Let's be willing to lose the love game by not giving a damn to be the one who loves more than the other.

 

Let's be blissful from the pure original purpose of love.

Not to be always "me first",

not to force itself on others,

not to keep score of the sins of the other,

but rather to take pleasure in the flowering of truth,

to put up with anything,

to always look for the best,

to never look back,

but to keep going to the end. (1 Corinthians 13, MSG)

Then we would be able to appreciate another level of love, both taking and receiving.

So, let's just let HIM/HER be the FIRST in relishing love the way we wish!
