They say life has meaning,
to love and to be loved
to befriend and to be friended of
to be proud and to be proud of
to care and to be cared for
to appreciate and to be appreciated of
to make people smile and to smile your self
the list could go on and on, but is it really true?
i could love you from the bottom of my heart,
but you wouldn't love me
i could see you as my best friend,
but do you see me as yours?
i would be proud of you when you achieve the smallest,
but at my biggest moment you wouldn't even put your hand together to clap
i could care for you like you meant the world to me,
but do you really care about me?
i appreciate every moment we spend together,
but you make wonder if you even remember my age
i would put a smile on your face in your darkest moments
and you would "sigh" when i talk about mine
you could sum this up with-
life is one-sided
its always to love but not to be loved
to befriend but not to be friended of
to be proud but not to be proud of
to care but not to be cared for
to appreciate but not to be appreciated of
to make people smile but not to smile your self
life is one-sided and it always will be so
you might as well get used to it.

poet's message-
I think we all have or have had that feeling where you feel like a friendship, or a relationship is one-sided and that may be the case or is commonly the case. It's extremely important to notice that we get used to giving our love to people who don't love you the same, we often give more love to others than to ourselves. It's hard to believe that love exists, it almost feels like, it's just us tricking our brains into wasting the energy we gained from last night's meal for someone who would not give two shits about you.
