I don't think I'll ever know what it's like.

Well - here is something I've posed many times , and has fallen mostly on deaf ears - from the Ballad of the Sad Café
It is for this reason that most of us would rather love than be loved. Almost
everyone wants to be the lover. And the curt truth is that, in a deep secret way, the state
of being be loved is intolerable to many. The beloved fears and hates the lover, and with
the best of reasons. For the lover is forever trying to strip bare his beloved. The lover
craves any possible relation with the beloved, even if this experience can cause him only
pain.
