Love Is A Thing

Love is a thing that must be shared by two How can you love one that does not love you Unrequited love another name for infatuation that and nothing more That is something you know of and heard of before. Love is a thing that does not go one way For one who does not love you with you will not stay Though maybe in the one house but not sharing the one bed Physical contact is over when love it is dead. People who fall out of love are not rare And little in common they no longer share Save for the children they helped to create Few things die quicker than love out of date. Infatuation and unrequited love do seem much the same Different only it would seem in name To the faults of the one you love you may be blind But in your lifetime your soul mate you never may find.
