Courtship

When being told you're “perfect” but that it's not enough what can you even do in pursuits of love? The seemingly endless process of meeting and greeting sharing, laughing, loving, caring even becoming attached to family, pets all so that it may come to an abrupt ofttimes one-sided end- it wears me down I'm far too young to feel as drained I'm far too young to feel as pained I'm far too young to feel as enslaved and betrayed by this process of courtship as I do Those older and wiser counsel: Patience, waiting is never easy The right one will come along You're a good person with a good heart and you've got a lot to offer It's their loss *sigh* I already know all of that, but it doesn't mean I accept it It doesn't mean a part of me cannot fear that the one I held dear should have been mine to keep, mine to fight for, mine to live for, mine to die for But what can I do? What can I do?
