When Love Is True

Partner has affair with someone 
You are happy that he/she is happy 
That's true love

Partner treats you badly 
always gives anguish
you are nice loving and caring 
not leaving still serving
That is true love  

God loves us whatever we do 
Whether we spoil his creation
Whether we are good or bad 
He has given us brain and freedom to act
He has not created us like puppets
He is not converting us to one
That is true love  

True love is eternal, unconditional,
believes in serving 
In spreading happiness without any thoughts of self.
True love doesn't bind, it sets you free

At the apex of true love self merges with the lover becoming one 
Self identity is lost
ego disappears
