Oceans

No matter how much you love someone you cannot force them to love you the way you believe you deserve to be loved. The person you love can walk out on you today and you most likely would cross oceans to get them back.  That doesn't automatically imply that they would do the same for you if the roles were reversed. You could walk away from the person you love for whatever period of time you choose and they would have the stonewalled capabilities to treat the matter as of you were going to the store. Unfazed. Nonchalant. Aloof. If that's the case its probably because the person you're with takes you for granted. Or doesn't believe that you will ever be truly absent from his or her life. Personally I believe that is a foolish way to think because the more you try to maintain the cool calm exterior to show you don't care about what happens in your particular relationship, the more your beloved will actually believe you could care less. And that never ends positively. As strong as your love may be for a person do not try to paint a new picture over the true colors they show. Because that will only make things worse for your heart in the long run. All I can really say is sometimes treating people how you WOULD LIKE to be treated is not always the best way because in that case one person will always be treated kinder within the relationship. Sometimes its more effective to treat people EXACTLY how they treat you and if they question it, turn the mirror back in their direction, metaphorically speaking. If someone is not willing to show how much they love and care for you when one foot is out the door then they must not care as much as you thought they did initially. Not to sound cynical but if the person you love really loves you back when distress is voiced they will take the necessary steps to quell that voice.
