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Few things die quicker than love out of date.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.
