When Only One Heart Is True

Do you know how hard
it is to love someone
that doesn't love you.
How to sustain a relationship
in which only one heart is true.
Some might say it's easy,
not necessarily so hard to do.
Perhaps it is if you're
a martyr for love, one
that has given up on
receiving love, but
guess what, real love
wouldn't do that to you.
Love is not just something
you give, love is something
that is returned to you.

This is not happening
to me right now...
although its certainly
happened to me before,
and something I worry
about right now...

"Love is not just something

that is returned to you."

Love is hard to find, harder to hold, and something we all fear...yet seek. I gave see from where this poem came James. Wonderful capture of the experience.

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!

Yes sir!

Certainly "should" be a two-way street, but it isn't always that way.

True words my friend,

How true are your words, James.  Love should not be a one way street and love given should be returned.

Take care.......Sue

I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
