I have realized... for a long time..

I have realized
for a long time
that loving someone
is not very easy

It is a responsibility
that..
we often falter with
at crucial junctures
in our life
and beyond time

I have realized
for a long time
that loving someone back too
is not very kind

It takes an effort
for someone else
to accept you
with all the faults
that come along
and the ones you can't overcome

I have realized
for a long time
that love by itself
doesn't mean much
Unless you have felt
what it is to live without!
