The love you couldn't return doesn't disappear. It just changes hands.
Ripples of Love
Letโs sayโฆ someone gives you so much love and you feel guilty because you canโt reciprocate.
Then for the rest of your life you try to make up for it by loving the people who come your way extra conscientiously.
In a sense, the love you couldnโt hold onto was so strong that it keeps rippling through you into others.
The person who gave it to you will never know where it went, and the people you give it to will never know where it came from.
