You said an interesting thing about love the other day. About, if I may paraphrase, unqualified and unconditional love. I am not perfect. I may be so bold as to say that I am deeply flawed on many levels (yes, I am usually fairly hard on myself, it's the English way), but when it comes to love, I can only offer it all up, if I am to receive everything that I can from a relationship. I don't want to look back and wonder if things might have been different if I had loved and gave of myself more. To say the opposite is true but unworthy and not how I want to remember people. I do not say that it does not have an effect on me, that I should pour out love each waking moment and be happy not to receive it in return? I am not perfect. And there will be times when I need attention and a little sign that my affections and appreciated, then I will return to be stoic and give even more of myself. I do not ask that you be there in your relationship with me, not yet and maybe never, I shall be content to hear one day that you are at least interested in moving in that direction.
