I would say that it's better to love,
and to grow in love and with love,
even when the love you have to give
is not returned, or does not bear
the fruits you hoped would spring forth
And that of all the different types of love
Agape is the one we should most seek
For it nourishes us, and feeds our souls
And is given freely, and returned (almost invariably)
And it limits us not to those
Who are (more or less) our own age
Of our own social circle
Of our own socio-economic class level
(or the one that we aspire to belong to)
But opens up an unlimited world
Where we love, because we born loving
(All children are - just watch the ones
(That were born into loving homes
(Play with other children of their own age
(Or even with younger children
(They simply PLAY, LAUGH, LOVE, LIVE, and ENJOY)
For every time I ever assumed
(And there were several times,
(Covering more than three chronological decades)
That I would never again be loved by another
And that this was a just reward
For my having failed to appreciate the love
Someone had given to me
Love always found someone,
willing to love me, even when,
I did not know enough, to know
That I was worthy of love, and all the long
Ought to have learned to love myself
But, THAT, was a lesson
Which took decades to learn
