I think Beyonce had this particular love sounding real good. And being in love at its ultimate where your love and someone's love for you is unconditional, is a beautiful thing. But losing yourself completely in another person is not. And I consider that dangerous, dangerously in love.
We often times listen to the hype and then start seeking for someone to "complete" us. Or go around looking to complete someone else. However, let me be the one to tell you my loves, you were born complete. All of you, just you, is good enough. Perhaps looking for someone to compliment you is more practical. Because trying to have another human being complete you may be dangerous, so dangerous that you get lost in them and forget all about you.
Never in the laws and attractions of love is there not a risk involved. When we fall for that certain someone, we better find their loving. And our worse fear is that at the end, like Drake felt in his video, we're getting played.
So to avoid that, we work hard, most times too hard, to find their love. And sometimes for their love, we get desperate. Desperate enough to give up who we are, our beliefs and morale are thrown out the window and forgotten. And then we fall. Fall dangerously in love...
Our beings become entangled in someone else's and folks who love and know us become lost too, too lost to help direct us. But only our own hearts can be compasses to our own minds. And sometimes even that compass can lead us in the wrong direction.
Love with caution...and not even so much caution even not to get hurt. Hell, that doesn't protect you anyway. But love cautiously enough to know that in order to give love you have to be capable of loving you. And you can't love you if your heart, body, mind and soul are busy "completing" someone else.
Love,
Vee
