Save the Best For Last

There are a lot of things I have to consider first
More important than the thought of you
Maybe that's why self comes before you in the dictionary
Because I can never love without loving myself too

But I have learned in my whole living 
To save the best things for the last

aww this is adorable. True, we cannot fully love another if first we do not love ourselves. Very nice, Hansteven.
