I'm In Love

So I got to thinking about life and all that... and I've realized that I love a lot of people. But knowing that I love them and having them know that I love them isn't enough.

I have to do something about it. I have to act.

What am I gonna do when one of them rushes to me for help? What am I gonna say when they desperately need some advice?
I've realized a pattern in my ways. I never tell them the answer.

Because I don't have the answer.
Who the hell am I to know what's right and wrong for someone else? I can only answer that for myself.
My pattern is that...I always ask them what they want to do...how they feel...what feels right for them...what will make them happy?

Because I learned awhile ago...Love isn't ever about yourself. It's not about how THEY make YOU feel...It's all about how you want them to feel. What you're willing to sacrifice for them to make them happy, for their sake and not for your own gratification.

That's why the crucifixion is such a perfect demonstration of what love is. That's why it's caused so much craziness...

The prime example of complete and unadulterated love. Laying down your life for someone else'.

I'm in love. And I'd hope that if the opportunity ever presented itself that I should be able to give up my own for those I love... I'd take it.
