We have to learn to love ourselves
Before knowing the love of the world
For when we say "I love you"
We should be saying "I hope I am loving you the way you want to be loved"*

Instead of focusing on being good enough
A very selfish view
We should pin point what makes us happy
The other's will surely follow soon
Down beaten paths that sing and dance
Across the patterns of the night
It's in this heat between you and me
Where we are building sacred light
I have never shied away from day
Nor held fast to rain so dear
All I feel is this burning flame
When your love shines pure and near
In the quest for connection we often lose focus of what we truly are looking for...acceptance from ourselves. If you have a hole, no one can fill it but you. That expectation, that kind of pressure can ruin just about anything it touches. Especially something as fragile as a human heart.
