Lose yourself
in me
I'll lose myself
in you.
We will find ourselves
in each other.
We will become
One.
Never throw that
away.
Something so good,
yet so rare
most people
never find it.
Fight the world's view of
Self importance.
Somewhere along the way
The word sacrifice
Got twisted into
Something bad.
They just do not understand
what it means
or how
beautiful it is.

Modern culture says if you don't easily fit together like a puzzle then you aren't made for each other. Or even, if you aren't the same puzzle piece then you aren't made for each other. That sometimes you fall out of love. That you should never have to lose bits of yourself or sacrifice for love.
I don't think the word love means what they think it means.
Love is sacrifice. Jesus literally sacrificed his life on the account of love. Abraham was about to slaughter his son for love.
Love is many things, and one of the key components of love is sacrifice.  Sacrificing self wants for the person you love is Love.   While you may not fully enjoy the sacrifice, you may not want to give something up, or want to go somewhere, or...the list goes on, you sacrifice with joy. Knowing that you are giving a bit of yourself away in order for the other person to be joyful...that in return gives you a deep happiness and wholeness.
There is a reason a husband and wife take vows on their wedding day. People are not made for each other.  People choose each other and through commitment and love they stay together. God may lead us to someone we love, however it's our free will that lets us stay together or abandon.
Losing yourself. And finding yourself in each other, through joyful sacrifice and commitment . That is love.
