What We Want

this is old but ever applicable:
would we really want to go out with someone who doesn't love us back? right this second, would you go out with her knowing how she feels? would you really go out with him know that he loves another? and would she go out with him know that he loves yet another?
is that really what we all want? if it's not, then why do we still long for them? and if it is what we want, then how could we live with that, know that. maybe, we want them back because we think that if they're with us, then maybe they'll fall back in love with us...

any thoughts?
