All The Things I've Never Said Before - Part 8

.

Obsession is not love.

Infatuation is not love.

When someone ignores you

Or treats you poorly, carelessly,

Or with indifference

That's not love.

That's a lack of love.

For yourself, for trying to fill

Your missing pieces with theirs.

But when someone is whole

And you are whole

And you act in kindness

Through strength

Love becomes an exchange with another person.

And that is its truest form
