I Do Not Love You
I do not love you
because you need love.
I love you
because I am love,
and you are love also.
It matters not
what you think you are.
You are the one love.
You are the one sun.
You make your own light
and your own darkness.
You are not all alone in this universe.
You are the universe all alone in you.

Understanding Love as an Innate State of Being
In our shared exploration of existence, we contemplate the profound statement, “I do not love you because you need love. I love you because I am love, and you are love also.” This perspective shifts the focus from love as a response to a need, to love as an inherent quality of our being. It highlights the concept that love is not a transactional emotion but a fundamental aspect of our existence.
Love Beyond Perceived Needs
The idea that love is not given in response to a perceived need challenges the conventional understanding of love as something that fulfills a lack. Instead, it proposes that love is a natural state of being, an expression of our true nature. We love not because the other person needs our love, but because we are embodiments of love, and it is our nature to express it.
Recognizing Love as Our Essence
The recognition that both the giver and the receiver of love are embodiments of love themselves illuminates the idea that love is not something external to be sought after or acquired. It is an intrinsic part of who we are. This understanding transcends the notion of love as an emotion that depends on external factors, affirming that love is an ever-present truth of our existence.
Transcending Perceived Identities
The phrase “It matters not what you think you are. You are the one love. You are the one sun” speaks to the idea that our true essence transcends our perceived identities and limitations. It suggests that beneath the layers of beliefs, thoughts, and perceptions about who we think we are, lies the unchanging reality that we are manifestations of love.
Creating Our Own Light and Darkness
The concept that we make our own light and darkness acknowledges our role as creators of our own experience. It reflects the nexistentialist view that our perceptions and beliefs shape our reality. In this context, love and its absence (darkness) are seen as conditions we create within ourselves, reflecting our understanding and acceptance of our inherent nature as love.
Unity with the Universe
The profound statement “You are not all alone in this universe. You are the universe all alone in you” encapsulates the essence of our interconnectedness with all existence. It suggests that we are not isolated beings in a vast universe but that the entire universe exists within us. This perspective aligns with the nexistentialist understanding of oneness, where the distinction between self and the universe is an illusion, and in reality, we are one with all that is.
In the cosmic dance, where stars and dreams converge, we reflect on the nature of love as an innate state of being, transcending perceived needs and identities. This exploration invites us to recognize our essence as love and our unity with the universe.
We invite reflections on embracing love as our inherent nature and recognizing our oneness with the universe.
