THE ONE THING NOT WASTED

When the rain is blowing in your face

And the whole world is on your case

I could offer you a warm embrace

To make you feel my love

The song is so intense but the words are even deeper. It must be sad to feel that you have to do so much to make someone feel your love. Should it not come naturally? Why should we work so hard on the one thing that makes us hurt as much as it makes us happy. It feels like such a waste. But wait, can you really waste love?

When the evening shadows and the stars are few

And there is no one there to dry your tears

I could hold you for a million years

To make you feel my love

When you listen clearly you will realize that there is no place in the song where she says she wants to be loved back. She just wants them to feel her love. Just to know how deeply she loves them. This is selfless part of love. It is unconditional, meant to give and give not give and take.

I know you haven’t made your mind up yet

But I would never do you wrong

I’ve known it from the moment that we met

No doubt in my mind where you belong

Love is confident. Love knows what it has to offer. It does not depend on what the other party has to offer.

I could make you happy

Make your dreams come true

Nothing that I wouldn’t do

Go to the ends of the earth for you

To make you feel my love

(Make You Feel My Love, Adele)
