Love's Reciprocity






Have you ever loved someone so deeply that you drowned in your own fascination with the person who possessed your heart?  Looking back in hindsight, it's amazing how the person you feel so much for, cares very little for you.  Are you just another person's option, when you want to be more than just that?  Putting the person you feel so much for up on a pedestal is the threshold to putting distance between you and that person.  In time, your praise and adoration will leave you stranded, trying to touch the person you've elevated to such a status, that even to you, they have become untouchable.

In time, you will have to quench your thirst for this person you feel so much for, because they will leave you dehydrated of love.  Love is not love, unless it is reciprocal.  Without reciprocity, love is just an obsession that becomes overwhelmingly hurtful to the person who is starving for it.  You can lose yourself and everything you believe in for the sake of another and what good are you to anyone, once you're lost in place?  Love that is not fostered, is a bleeding love, that can you leave you a shell  of a person.  If, love is to exist and persist in a relationship, it has to be reciprocal, otherwise, whose fooling who?  I leave you a short quote about love,  that is born out of loving someone more than I once loved myself...


 "To Quench the illusions of a love once had, cottonmouth becomes the drink of choice."  Excerpt from The Book of Curthom.
