Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Love Is a Two-Way Street

if the person
you love
isn't interested
in what 
makes you tick

you're living in delusion

go find
someone
who loves
the person
you are

Unbelievable that 'love' can be 'disinerested.' Just beyond me, I guess. Well-captured, Line. :) gw

So very well said Line? Fortunately for me I found the right one nearly 53 years ago. But I do know others who weren’t so lucky when it came to their choices. John

That's amazing for you ~ there are a lot of miserable people out there unfortunately. I was lucky to find mine as well, he passed away this November but I focus of the legacy of how he enriched my life and is still with me in so many ways ~

Oh I do so agree Line. You will never be happy if the person you are with isn't interested in your feelings. Good Stuff here. God Bless, JB

This is so true! Why do so many people try so hard to get a particular person to love them? It is a curiosity to me too.

If a woman is not willing to meet me halfway, then she is someone I don't want to stay. You have some poetic words of wisdom here.
