Have I? Has he?

If love is about giving and not taking, I have probably never loved him. And he has done the same with me!

If love is about sacrifices, I have done a few (small ones, I guess – now they have become ancient history and dumped disgustedly) but have always fallen short to make the 'valid' and 'demanded' ones. And he has never made any!

If love is about making the other one feel like 'someone special', I have always tried to give him that warmth but have eventually failed. And he has made me feel special at times, but has showed me the 'reality' soon after, as a rule.

If love means you are hurt like hell when you two indulge in a fight, I have really loved him. And he has loved me (sometimes) and has loved me not (by and large).

If love means you shouldn't let the sun go down or rise without making up, I have partly loved him – I did try on a few occasions but failed. And he has loved me a little less – he only started trying to patch-up after I told him what I wanted in those mournful hours, but has brought that to a halt now.

If love means differences don't make a difference, I have definitely not loved him. And so has he!
