It Cannot Be Love

So much about love we hear of every day
But it cannot be love if the love is one way
It cannot be love if it's not felt by two
But that's only my opinion there are many who
Say if you love someone and she does not love you
That despite the lack of response that love is so true
But it cannot be love if it aches you to your heart's core
That the one you profess to love you chooses to ignore
If she refuses to make eye contact with you it would seem to me
That one sided love to one side is only love's misery
For unrequited love it can live on for years
And only cause disappointment and heartache and tears
And it cannot be love if there are hurt feelings at stake
If it causes one party so much mental ache.
