Optional

What is love
If all You use it for is others?
When do You actually feel it?
If a person is claiming they are loving You
And they don't sense that Your self-love is
Non-Existent,
All they are really doing is
Appreciating You
For all You do for them.
To love You, they'd have to see
That something is missing in You,
And Acknowledge That.
With their acknowledgement
Should come willingness
To Again let You go
If You finally realize
That Your love is all You really want.
Otherwise
It is not Love.
It is also not Love
If all it is used for is others.
Love Thyself First.
Only the Love of God
Comes before self-love.
For You cannot properly Love another
Nor can You properly accept Love from another
Without First Loving God
And then loving Thyself
In That Order.
Any Love that comes thereafter
Is not only Secondary
But Optional.
