Loving the alien

It is better to be a lover than the beloved. A lover can choose to be disappointed but the beloved is doomed to disappoint. Lovers can build expectations but all the beloved can expect is the dwindling and extinction of the love. The beloved has a burden, something to lose. The lover is giving a gift that they can take back, without warning, without reason.

I want to be loved with the same uncomplicated, unforced love I love with. I am undemanding, unimposing. Love for me is an unstoppable expression that wells from the part of me I would never change for any price. I do not believe I will ever find that love. I do not know whether it is a foolish, romantic notion that it even exists because it runs entirely counter to what I know about people and how they are. But I like foolish, romantic notions anyhow.
