Equal But Unequal

listen dear!
We have a lot in common :
the same sky, the same sea,
the same way forward
and the same sad eyes...
We are similar, but not the same....
We have wishes and dreams,
you have desires and aspirations,
we are human, intelligent,
educated, sophisticated
spiritualized but selfish,
stoic but relaxed,
 attractive, without complexes...
we have all that we need
for happiness...
Only one thing sets us apart:
I love you, but you don't love me....
We have everything you need
for a life together...
Minus love...!
This is uneven!
