Never have I taken love
for granted or in vain.
If some perceive that this I've done
I'm sorry for the pain.
For love, that peerless gift of all
should never be denied.
But understanding's needed
and in hearts it must abide.
Absence makes it greater still
as distance magnifies
The longing harbored by each heart,
though social mores defies.
So cling to love through thick and thin
through unrequited pain.
Reality is just the one
and love of self, the gain.
