In the name of LOVE

Ah.. the things we do..
In the name of Love
To be loved by someone
To feel wanted and loved
Appreciated and respected
How much effort we put in
Just to be loved by someone…

Forgetting our own selves
Our own values
Our own boundaries
Putting ourselves down
Way down in the list
The price we pay..
The miseries we sometimes have to go through
The pain we have to endure
Just to be loved
By some one…

As humans why do we crave so much
For love from others?

but its universal..

Sometimes, we live just to be loved
By someone else..
Dreaming, hoping, praying and wishing
Just to be loved

by another...

In this process, we forget ourselves
Our precious selves
And we forget to love ourselves
And take care of ourselves
To give the same love
We give others…
And then suddenly
When the love we expect from another
Is not to be found
We realize not only have we lost that person
But we have also lost ourselves
Because in loving another
In wanting to be loved by another

We have forgotten us..
We have lost our own selves
But at the end of the day..
When the night falls
And the whole world is silent
When it’s dark and lonely
No one to love us anymore
We are stuck with ourselves
And when are stuck with a self who has lost its love
You are stuck with a unloving YOU…

As much as we crave to be loved by others..
Which is a human desire extending to animals
It’s always wise..
Not to forget to love ourselves first..

or love us equally
So that even when we lose our loved one..
We are still left with a loving self…

Wouldnt it be wise?
