When you go after lust, you'll definitely get lost. If you wanna live forever, love you'll let go, never.
You just met someone new, and whether it was the first words exchanged or
the initial “I’ve got my eyes on you” approach, sparks are flying. You’ve got the nervous laughing going on, a weird flutter in your stomach, and did I mention the way his eyes sparkle? Everything is going great, and conversation is coming more naturally than you anticipated.
This is what you’ve been waiting for, and before you know it- you’re hooked--- On lust. Soon enough, texts are being exchanged and maybe some plans are being put into place. (And hopefully, he’s the one doing the planning!). Nerves are definitely not going unnoticed, and you’re telling your friends all the great qualities you’ve found about this guy within your short span of getting to know one another. Of course they’ve seen this before, whether it was with you or another friend along the way.
Now don’t get it twisted, lust is definitely an exciting, new feeling that everyone gets
caught up in once or twice in a life time. It’s the adrenaline rush you get of thinking “Oh man, I think this is the one!” When the first time you kissed, it’s like fireworks explode over downtown and you’re standing in the middle. Or when he texts you the first “Good morning, beautiful!” text that you thought you’d never get. You’re beginning to really fall for this guy, and you’re convinced there’s nothing he can do that’ll prove otherwise.
That’s exactly what lust or infatuation is. When you think there are no faults in this person, and even if there are, they’re just small enough to overlook. But more than likely, that’s all you’ll start to see. All of a sudden those “Good morning, beautiful!” texts fade away. Or in some instances become so repetitive you wonder if he’s set an automatic text generator or something to send u text every morning. Maybe add a little something more in there?! His obsession with football no longer is “cute” and soon becomes a little overwhelming. And those little quirks he has end up being the most frustrating of all.
“Babe, you know I don’t like talking on the phone at mid-night,” he says or “I can’t fall asleep if we’re cuddling or have u resting on my chest.” At first, those things seemed okay to handle. But after time goes on, all you really want to do is fall asleep in his arms or talk at length at night as you always do. I mean, that doesn’t seem too much to ask,
right? And for the person who loves you, it’s not. Love doesn’t happen in the blink of an eye. Sure, some people like to believe in “love at first sight”, but that’s just attraction that led to a relationship, that ended with happily ever after. Now, u watch your sweet relationship get washed in the rain and every tackling gently fades away....no text messages anymore, no sweet night calls, no appreciation n affirmation...you begin to ask...Were we in love or in lust? Falling in love can happen in many different ways, but that’s not what am talking about here, i am talking about distinguishing love from lust.
As we’ve seen- lust is a temporary being high, that unfortunately you'll still come down from. You see all the good at first, and then all of the bad at once. And things can get very messy from falling out of lust..... You may end up never being able to see past that weird Star Wars obsession after all, and that sparkle in his eye? You found out it was a dust particle leaving his eye a little watery. You don’t fall “out” of love.
You don’t stop seeing all of the good things you saw when you first thought to yourself,“this is the one.” Those quirks, weird habits and interests? You’ll soon take them up as a part
of your lifestyle, too. Because at the end of the day- it’s not about the sparkles, it’s about the people you are when you’re together, the laughter. I mean, pure laughter. The kind that comes from your belly and sometimes tears fall from your eyes.
Lust gets you lost....Love isn’t lust and Lust isn't Love. Love doesn’t happen fast. It comes over time, as days pass and you constantly find reasons why you want to spend the rest of your life with this special person. And those days will come, so don’t forget to spend some of the days with yourself and your friends.
Because in the end, he’s going to be sharing your wedding day with them, too.
Love is selfless, it is futuristic not momentary, Love sacrifices to ensure the other is protected, Love considers others and goes extra mile to make one fulfils his or her Destiny and purpose for living.
And as a final note from me to my beloved ardent readers, especially Ladies...when you find this special Man, the one that makes your belly laugh and goes out of his way to make you smile and put dimples on your cheeks, and appreciates you, the time you spend with his friends and the time you spend with him and your friends, keep him around.Work for it. Because true love is much more difficult to find than lust. It’s real, and it lasts forever. Love has duplicates but one original and highly authenticated copy.
