Coward? maybe.

What exactly is love?

wikipedia explanation:

"Love is a basic dimension of human experience that is variously conveyed as a sense of tender affection, an intense attraction, the foundation of intimacy and good interpersonal chemistry, willing self-sacrifice on behalf of another, and as an ineffable sense of affinity or connection to nature, other living beings, or even that which is unseen. It manifests itself in feelings, emotion, behavior, thoughts, perception and attitude. It influences, underlies and defines major patterns in interpersonal relationships and self-identification."

Many people say that love is one feeling that one cannot understand if not felt before.

often, we would sit in front of the tv and curse at the male lead who fails to confess. but when this sense of attraction comes to us, we find ourselves stuck, hanging on that bamboo pole of doom, where a wrong move would send us tumbling off. Would we be accepted by the other party, and be let into the house, or would we be left on that pole, alone, hurt and damaged.

what is the worst form of love?

1)One-sided love. It is physically, mentally and emotionally destructive to the one sided lover, who desperately tries to cling on to a fragile hope.

2)between close friends. the close relationship may be Jeopardized. People don't want to lose this friendship, yet long to express their feelings.

Either way, both types are equally painful.

Hopeless at love, you can find no one more hopeless than me. I'm always afraid. Cowardice, you call it. Afraid to express and when i do, i express it in such indirect ways that it messes up the whole situation and we end up drifting further and further apart.

sorry, just had to get that out of my head
