love is one sided.
no matter the amount of reciprocation, the affection emitted from my very being is in-malleable.

love may be given, and the one loving will strive for reciprocation.

their love may be placed upon your body,
awaiting discovery.
you may choose to accept it,
it is not a requirement,
simply an option.
and once you take it,
it becomes yours,
the return is not an obligation.

you gave me your love once,
but I did not want to give it back.
it was not my duty to love you.
