Coming down
from Valentine’s Day
expectations
met with sugar highs
chocolate narcosis
so much hype
leads to so much hangover
Did it turn out as hoped?
Did all the dreams get met?
Yesterday spent
giving love
today
I cradle my own heart
today
I choose me
today
I remember
i AM complete
just as I am

real love
true love
selfless love
is in the heart
of each of us
it’s not about expectations
yours or mine
it’s not about the gifts we exchange
the surprises we give
or don’t
it’s about being open
being trusting
being trustworthy
never claiming
never resenting
just loving.

We spend a lot of time in our lives
looking for the perfect love
or trying to create it with our partner
but only God’s love is perfect
will meet every need
fill every space
and He does love you
no matter what

It is so easy
to get confused
to blur the lines
to use sex
in place of love
to fill a void
to feel good
about
myself
But it usually
doesn’t work out
that way
So, I will look for the fine line
that separates love and sex
I see that sex can be part of love
but they are not the same
and I will know the difference
I am valuable
for more than
my body
for more than
how I make you feel
and I am complete
as I am.

Getting caught up in the “romance” around us?
Here’s to keeping some healthy perspective!
I will not let unrealistic expectations cloud my view of life.
I am loved. I am valuable. I am complete.

Sometimes
I think I know what love is
Am I swept off my feet?
Is there magic in the air?
Butterflies in my belly?
Chemistry when we kiss?
But that spark is not love
when accompanied by disrespect
True Love always protects
True Love always enables trust
True Love always
cherishes, holds, supports, accepts
and I will settle for nothing less

i see all my flaws
i see all my “shoulds”
i see all my mistakes
but i don’t see me
today
I want to have eyes that are opened
to see me
and love me
just as I am
knowing I have
talents
skills
humor
love
I am worthy of love
especially from me

In the classic movie – Love Story
one of the worst lines ever uttered
and proclaimed to be romantic:
~ Love means never having to say you’re sorry ~
excuse me, huh?
in what world
is that ok?
If you love me
and you hurt me
You need to be sorry
You need to mean it
That’s what love is
Care for me
Respect me
and my feelings
Think before you
speak
And definitely,
most assuredly, most respectfully, most humbly, most lovingly
say when you are sorry.
