This Cannot Be Love

I will not waste my emotions On your false and pre-conceived notions You always demand definitions And love with selfish conditions You must first learn love yourself Before you can love someone else

simple letters but not a simple meaning and the conditions are not at all easy to define, great poem.

By setting forth conditions and demanding definitions, we can end up confined to lonely lives. In reality, love is unique in each relationship and defies definition. And if we do not believe ourselves worthy of love, we will never find it. Very astute observations here. Great work, Tim! Love, Carolyn
