Unrequited

Loving someone should not need to be continually defended or proven , certainly not constantly tested to verify its Authenticity.On the other hand, as the song goes, " I can't make you love me if you don't." Someone who keeps hurtfully testing people to see if their love is unconditional, while at the same time withholding any reciprocity of feeling seems narcissistic with sadistic tendencies, yet some people absorb other people's care and concern, but will not or can not give back. Some humans are givers and some are takers. Perhaps the " takers" are limited, unable to believe that they are worthy of love, with fragile egos, low self- esteem and unable to accept healthy relationships from family who have remained loyal and forgiving despite being severely pressed for years. Unrequited love is excruciatingly painful, and Love doesn't mean accepting unlimited b.s. ;it can mean letting go.
