Loving that special someone may be a cat-walk. Sometimes a person has to settle for second best and companionship. Even with such an understanding persons in such a relationship may feel unloved and miserable.

Loving that special someone

Isn’t as easy as it seems

Especially if that person

Does not return your love

- – -

Simply, take Jim

He’s dying to be with Sally

But she spurns him

He tries every trick

In his book to win her heart

But she doesn’t

Love him romantically

- – -

Some persons

In the course of their lifetime

Might have had a similar experience

Some couldn’t let ago

And even resorted to stalking

- – -

How does someone handle

Such a dilemma?

Either settle for second best

Or go through life 

Single and unloved

- – -

Deciding on another

May be unsettling

For such a decision

May sap the joy

Out of your being

- – -

You may decide

To have

Another as a companion

Who may love you

But you’re unable

To  return her love

- – -

Such a situation

Is not always easy

For both individuals

May think

They are living a life of lies

- – -

Such may be the complexity

Of some relationships

Even if both partners

Are faithful

- – -

Just imagine

If they are not

- – -

    I love these lines
    Who may love you
    But you’re unable
    To return her love

    Love matters are very intricate Prof. You brought them out here in a truly poignant way! I have known folks who have jumped from one love affair to another too many, but they still seem to be searching!

    Think, a good communication with your partner all the time.

    Rather great words.

    Don’t settle for second best or anything less than what you deserve. That’s just my theory. These are very good words of wisdom. Sometimes the heart and the mind tell you two different things. It’s just a matter of accepting it and moving on. If you don’t feel it from the moment you meet that person, it’s just not going to happen. There are cases where a person falls for another after getting to know them for a while, but at least for me that has never happened.

    Great truth… You have put forth the inner condition of the lovers and the cruelty of the beloved ones, :P

    Lovely share but sad because for some – this is a reality.
    They put up with it, sadly…
