The feeling

The feeling of love is a drug. So what do you do when it's one sided. When one person loves and the other person is true to the other, but the feeling in its intensity isn't mutual.

So my friend comes to me and says that he loves his wife but is not in love with her. Although it is growing. He realizes what she is saying about the distance between them. He had been denying it all along until he met an old friend whom he did love and then it became clear to him. His dedication and love would never lead him to leave so he goes on. Now though he has the knowledge of his feelings and remembers what butterflies feel like.

Butterflies are fragile and can die easily.
