A wounded puppy

Someone fell for a friend recently and as soon as he realized this, a host of issues cropped up.
He claimed he was in love, while i watched, bewildered, amused…
Is that love? I thought you don't harbor any expectations in love, none whatsoever…
How can you feel resentful? What can the other person possibly give you that would match up to the devotion that you have?
Nothing actually…so you just celebrate the feeling and get distressed only when something goes wrong with the one you care for.
Love is heady, beautiful…it makes you selfless, giving, caring…
Love is not a means, its an end in itself…Its a sign that you, as a human being, have attained a higher level of evolution…
I could not explain any of this to the heartbroken romeo, because even this is so inadequate. You cant explain love…
You just feel it, silently…and gracefully accept whatever this greatest of teachers has to teach.
