The curse ones

I have found almost everything ever written about love to be true. Shakespeare said: ¨ Journeys end in lovers meeting ¨. What an extraordinary thought. Personally, I have not experienced anything remotely close to that. But I'm more than willing to believe shakespeare had, I suppose I think about love more than anyone really should.

I'm constantly amazed by it's sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was shakespeare who also said, ¨ Love is blind ¨ Now, that is something I know to be true. For some, quite inexplicably love fades, for others love is simply lost. But then of course, love can also be found even if just for the night.

And then there's another king of love: The crueless kind. The one that almost kills it's victims. It's called unrequited love, of that, I'm an experst. Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other but what about the rest of us? What about our stories? Those of us who fall in love alone. We are the victims of the one-sided affair. We are the cursed of the love ones. We are the unloved. The walking wounded. The handicapped without the advantage of a great parking space, yes you're reading at one such indiviual.

Don't be sad for me or anyone else We still have a chance.
