Unbalanced Love

Yeah, I believe you love me but the problem with this "love" we "share" is that it's not balanced. People often say "You must learn to love yourself before you love others" or "You can't love someone if you don't first love yourself." Well I, DISAGREE! I learned to love you more than myself and fell short when it came to catering to me for years at a time. Putting your heart and emotions before me and my basic emotional needs as a human being but you live by the foolishness loving yourself more than me and hurting me in the process. To me, that isn't real love that is being "shared" between us. Shared love involves sacrifices and adjustments. The other person's well being comes before your own. It becomes your first priority, like how we are God's first priority. Hurt doesn't exist but yet is accepted because it is in our nature to make mistakes. But still, it is in my nature to forgive mistakes that weren't willfully committed; mistakes that aren't always obvious to the naked eye, it is in my nature to love, appreciate and accept those who love me, the way I love them.
