How That Love Is Explained

If thou are happy to ignore me
Without a pity on me 

Even after all, thou cared not about me...           
So, why should I love thee?           

I never believed that love is something mysterious           
I think that love is simply a reflex           

Thy "stimulus" that I love to accept           
Thy “feelings” that I always expect

Thou smooth me tension and cultivate me with happy,           
Thou accept my strengths, and weaknesses.          

That we both agreed: Thou are responsible to me, 
I am responsible for thee.           
So, why don't I love thee?           

I never believed that love is something mysterious           
I think that love is a kind of "conditional reflex"

I find myself in partial agreement yet in total acceptance of your premise. I love this poem. It speaks mountains of truth. Treat me well, I will love you. I will treat you well, and you will love me. It works. Why do so many make it so hard? Great wisdom, and insight. Ann
