there must be
more to love than pain
though i'm far
more familiar with chaos
and uncertainty

is it any wonder
i'm attracted to you
who can not give me
what i long for
most of all

the day i won't need
you any more is
when i can believe
it's no longer worth
the trouble
winning you

it's not enough to love someone-
you ought to get love back

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Do yourself a favor Faith and don't quit too soon... love is what happens when we're least expecting it.

Very nice!

Got to agree with the line
“it's not enough to love someone-
you ought to get love back”
Been there too many times
Never had someone giving as much as I wish
Or want
Or need

Love is overrated, I'm afraid, Faith. For the most part what we call love is merely a mutual attraction for another human being. If, for whatever reason, we are able to stand one another for a decade or two this attraction metamorphoses' into something deep-seated and lovely. THIS is what love is. Those are my feelings on the subject of love. Most of us are much too selfish to even half believe we "love" another.
