• Selfish

  There’s a selfishness inherent in love. We love hoping to be loved back. Of course we will also love one sided-ly; unrequited love is sometimes the sweetest love, the hardest felt love. But we love selfishly. We love to feel warm, to feel wanted and needed and whole. We love because our heart wants us too, because our body longs for us to love. We love to heal ourselves, to fulfill a need that has been hard wired, that is intrinsic. We love because we have to, and not because it makes us better people, makes the world go ‘round. We love because we want to love, and nothing more.
