On someone loving you...

I am in love with Trent. Trent does not love me back, and I think
that Trent wishes that I didn't love him. ::sigh::
My suite mate Lindsey has some guy who is apparently in love with
her and yesterday she had one of her histrionic spaz attacks and said
that she wished that this guy didn't love her. And I sat there and I
thought this:
How dare you wish away the love of another person? Crushes are
fine to wish away. Stalkers are fine to wish away. But genuine love
is something that people don't see all too often. If someone loves
you, cherish that! Of course, one can't always love the people who
love them, but do not EVER tell someone that they are wrong for
loving you. Love is an emotion, the same as any other and no matter
why one is feeling it, there doesn't need to be any justification for
it. It is what it is, and it is something to be thankful for.
Someone loves you! Wow! How great is that? How many of us are ever
loved in our lifetimes? How many people have someone who would
actually give anything in their existence to make them happy? I can't
imagine anything more wonderful than that!
There are some things that you can't throw away, like family and
truth and virtue, and love is one of those things. So why would
anyone ever tell someone who stands before them, their heart bursting
with affection, that they are stupid for loving them, to stop loving
them because, "it's not what I need right now"? How could anyone be
so cruel?
Don't wish away something as precious as love! Don't laugh at
it, don't make it out to be something that is a nuisance. There is
always, in everyone's lifetime, going to be a case of unrequited
love, but this is something that should be treated with respect for
what it is: the most aggresive emotion manifesting itself into one's
heart, and having no where to go. Love is what creates things and
bonds them together, and makes this stupid life that we all have to
go through bearable. It is not a cure all, it is not a goal. It is a
compliment to everything. A force stronger than any other.
If anyone who is loved has the audacity to wish the love away,
they don't deserve ever to be loved in their lifetimes. You can wish
away the person who is loving you because you do not like the way
they show their love. You can think that the love makes other
situations in your life more difficult, and there are going to be
times, when we fall in love and it disrupts everything in our lives.
But don't wish it away. Wish away the pain that can come with it,
wish away the circumstances that make it impossible, but don't reject
love! Don't throw it away like it'll come around again, because there
is no guarantee that it will. If someone loves you, even if you don't
love them back, welcome them to your heart. Because who couldn't use
more love there? I think we all could....
