You see, at that juncture in my life I wasn't evolved enough to understand the fluid nature of romantic love {its indifference to human cravings for permanence and certainty}; its uncivilized, undomesticated nature {less like a pretty melody than a foxish barking at the moon}, or, more importantly perhaps, that it's a privilege to love someone, to truly love them; and while it's paradisiacal if she or he loves you back, it's unfair to demand or expect reciprocity. We should consider ourselves lucky, honored, blessed that we possess the capacity to feel tenderness of such magnitude and be grateful even when that love is not returned. Love is the only game in which we win even when we lose.
