How it hurts when you love someone who does not love you back

These are cactus flowers they are flowers  that have succulent stems and branches with scales or spines instead of leaves around them . We know flowers as representative of love. When you have it you feel like hugging or even kissing the flower to express your affection. But how would you hug and kiss something that will hurt you? Madness right? But some are fond of being in relationships where they are being hurt, abused and assaulted, yet they remain in the name of 'but I love him so much.'
The truth is that it takes two to love, if I love you and you don't love me or vice vicar, the love is not balanced. There is nothing like 'you love him so much' Who loves to be hurt or to die?. if you force yourself into a relationship, the consequences may not be pleasing later on.
It takes two to love. Loving someone who does not love you is hugging a cactus flower which hurts you the more you hug it
Loving someone who doesn't love you is like hugging a cactus plant, the more you hug it, the more it hurts you
