A long time ago; circa about four years ago, we had our first major-minor tiff.
I made a promise to you to never take what we had between us lightly.
That our relationship wasn't something that I would turn my back on the very instant I felt like doing so, e.g. feeling unappreciated. I wanted you to know that you'll always have a someone here for you.
You didn't know this, but at that exact moment I made another promise.
To the One who created you and brought you into my life.
I made Him a promise. That no matter what happened, I would love you.
As only love should. A pure and true love; that will not turn away regardless of pain, regardless of hurt, regardless of your choice.
A love that to you is not romantic, but to me is not superficial.
I asked that during the times when I feel unappreciated and put aside, He'd remind me that His love is more than enough for me.
I asked that He will help me too. I'm only human, my love can sour and turn selfish... but His won't.
Ever.
So I asked that I would instead love with a love that only He can give. I'm just the empty jar He's pumping it all into. Everytime it overflows, you're one of those it pours unto. He loves you too, you know.
So I love because He first loved me.
