A good person's love will get you confused. They love you so well that you can find yourself lulled into complacency.
You can begin to think that you're the only person in their world and they can not stop pouring into you.
The way they anticipate your needs, the way they do the little things you like and design them to your taste.
The way they pay attention to your needs such that you never need to mention anything twice.
The way they pour affection onto you and have you on top of their priorities every time.
This type of love can be hypnotizing. If you're used to jokers and swindlers and suddenly you find someone as solid as this, you can get bamboozled.
As a wise person, you're supposed to wake up quickly and realize that you're in luck.
You should begin to pour back into them with the same dedication. You're supposed to match their energy and join the dance.
But if you're full of yourself, you'll think that there's something special about you. Somehow, you deserve this.
You see a man who always includes you in his schedule and remains attentive to you no matter what's going on with his job.
You find that a man comes home early consistently to spend time with you and the kids, and you think it's because he has nowhere else to go.
You see a woman who takes the time to make your meals to your taste and who makes sure that your personal effects are always ready when you need them. But instead of noticing the effort and trying to return it in kind, you think she must have too much time on her hands.
Imagine a man who covers you so well that you don't even know who the landlord is or where electricity is paid. You never know when your car needs service or insurance renewal because your husband got you covered.
Naturally, you should jump into action and reciprocate in your own ways as the wife.
If, instead, you get comfortable and sit down to just lap it up, know for a fact that the tide will change.
Good people are long-suffering, but they're not forever suffering. They give you enough time to catch on to their energy, but they're not stupid.
They can tell when you have mistaken their good nature for foolishness.
They can see when you become entitled instead of grateful.
You see, good people were not born that way. They made themselves that way. They have taken long journeys into that deep empathy and maturity you see in them.
There's no way they don't know that they're different.
They're used to people being awestruck by their energy.
But know this: these people have moved past the level of warning grown-ups.
They won't nag you to return their energy and commitment.
They will communicate their needs and expectations, but they will be so calm you can easily miss it.
They know that their type won't need to be beaten into behaving right.
They know that appreciation and recognition of each other's worth is the bare minimum.
If you can't give them that, they will return their energy to themselves and pack out of your life.
You will realize when it's too late that you assumed a good person to exhaustion.
Unfortunately, these people love too deeply, and they also feel too intensely. As a result, they can not afford to be disappointed twice by the same person. It would ruin them.
Your only chance is to change while they still care. Seize the opportunity to write the most glorious love story of your life or else you'll live to tell of how you screwed your chances.
