could mean loving someone who doesnt love you back

or it could mean not knowing right from wrong, and being loveless, or loving yourself too much to love another, something along those lines

What I meant was, trying to figure out what it means to my life personally. (Having some confusing thoughts and feelings about relationships lately.)

I've only been on the pining side of unrequited love once, all the other times, it was some one I wasn't interested in was in love with me. I am in no way vain over this, just putting it out there.

I get the "not knowing right from wrong" part. "being loveless" could mean so many things. I definitely do not love myself.

Hmm, I am enjoying this discussion.

to answer the question in the subject:

We only have the chances that we give ourselves.

You can allow yourself to take chances, yes, but if another person is involved, it is also up to them as well.

to explain the couplet:

Whoever wrote it drifts through life, day-to-day.
This apathy towards life has made it difficult to see love in others.

What I meant was that I was trying to figure out what it means to me personally. (See above comment.)

I appreciate your explanation.

p.s. I miss our online chats.
