if i was your girlfriend.

It is lamentable to be in love with someone who does not love you.
I actually don't believe it's possible, really.
Love is a conditional thing that must be shared between two parties: whether these parties are two people, a person and a pet, or between two pets (you get my drift).
And if one of these parties does not reciprocate said love, then you two obviously aren't IN love, nor do you truly love it.
I believe it to be trickery.
You've tricked yourself into believing that you love something or someone, because you feel strongly about them.
Love is defined as a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person (or thing).
If the other party does not love you, what makes that tender?
If the other party does not love you, how can you possibly have PASSIONATE affection? Beyond that of lust, of course.
And unless we're referring to a religious love, or a familial love, then love (the true, unconditional love which I'm referring to) can only exist between two (or more) 'cooperate' people/things.

For example ....
If you claim to love your girlfriend, but she cheats on you at any moment opportune, is that love? I find it hard to believe that the girl can love you, if she can't even respect your relationship enough NOT to cheat on you. I find it hard to believe that she can truly love you deeply if she can't love herself, too. This is a perfect example of why love must be conditional. If only one person cares that deeply about the other, THEN HOW. THE FUCK. IS IT LOVE?!

You've heard the term 'We're in love.'
And the term 'I'm in love.'
But would the latter term be used if the person knew that their affections were their's alone? If they knew that the person they were 'in love' with, was not 'in love' with them?

I doubt it.
People trick themselves into believing so much.
They want so much to see what isn't there, that eventually they do.
Love is like a fucking placebo.
It's completely worthless until combined with something else, but Cupid's sitting around laughing at our ignorant asses responding before the 'something else' is added.
He has such a big job ahead of him, connecting people and whatnot.
Yet, he chooses to test us first.
For his own amusement.
No love bows with hearty love arrows until it's been proven we need that drug. The real thing. Not some over the counter, generic version of your medicine.
Love ain't Claritin. It's the cure for allergies.
