"Tis better to have loved and lost/ Than never to have loved all." -Alfred Tennyson
So tell my Tenny, you want ME to go out and profess my love because that will solve all of my problems? Hmmmm. My interpretation is this, "It is better to express your love and be turned down, than to never allow that love to manifest whatsoever." So, what are you waiting for?
I wish that there were a word less binding than love and with more weight than like. I cannot take my feelings seriously enough to call them love, yet they involve too much effort to be considered merely like. Perhaps I appreciate them. I appreciate more than just their personality, but their passion and values and caring and attitude. I appreciate their interest in my interest and motivation. The list goes on...
Maybe my best bet is to open up to them, to love them because their unrequited love is becoming unrecognized appreciation as well. I want them to know that I appreciate them! And to whomever is reading this, I appreciate you as well for putting up with my sappy bullshit. ;)
Like, appreciate, love.
