The Three Degrees Of Love~Dos
The second degree of love...is best expressed by one word...sacrifice....
You give more then you receive...and giving makes you feel good...
No longer content to enjoy her beauteous presence,you seek ways to give,give,give...
You give your time to a person...and each second you spend on her is full of goodness and meaning...
You give your love;share yourself like an incandescent candle lending its flame to another candle...
You tolerate crazy moments.when both of you shout and scream and say hurtful words that stab your hearts like arrays of little rapiers...
You delay your own gratification,sacrifice your wants and needs...just to show you respect her...venerate her ideals and opinions...place her in a little shrine within your heart.
To please her you sacrifice your ...your instinct for self-preservation...to make her happy you don't mind sacrificing your comfort and well-being...she can take your shoes...and you will feel happy walking home bare-footed...gratified by the fact that her feet will be warm and covered...and she will not suffer from the sores you will suffer the next morning.
You sacrifice friendship...because you want to spend time with her...and then you have to pretend that her friends are "lovely people"...even when talking to them gives you a strange stomachache...and their vacuous chatter stirs an eddying tempest within your mind...
You sacrifice your emotional wellness...you are a puppet to her...someone she can manipulate.twist.control...you are like a dog with a leash...you are tired...worn-out...but you have to follow her whims like a dog follows its master...because she is your heart's mistress...and the fear of losing her suppresses any thoughts of escaping...Ah...the ecstacy of Agony can be so immediate,familiar and compelling...
God only knows...whether sacrifice is noble and virtuous...or you have just wasted your youth.
