Love is life’s end! An end, but never ending;
All joys, all sweets, all happiness, awarding;
Love is life’s wealth, ne’er spent, but ever spending
More rich by giving, taking by discarding;

Then from thy wretched heart fond care remove;
Ah! Shouldst thou live but once love’s sweets to prove,
Thou wilt not love to live, unless thou live to love.

I learned to love someone with all my life
but there came a point that I got tired,
not of loving but sacrificing all that I have.

but pain & tears in return.

Or is it a sign telling me to stop sacrificing
& learn to love myself a little more?

Never say that someone completes you.
We have to feel whole even when we are by ourselves
for needing a certain someone is not love but dependency.

is the best reason for having them.
You can only want when you know you have enough.
So rather than search for that someone who will complete you,
Wait for the person who will complement your completeness.
