Sometimes, hope can be the real enemy when in love

Like many, I believe in the power of love. Until one finds themselves in situations where love is quite powerless: unrequited love, loving someone who is unavailable or falling for someone with a different sexual orientation. It only took five months of knowing M and spending lots of time together, for Z to fall madly in love with him. But when it comes to unrequited love, many live in the hope that the person they love will one day change their mind. The fact is, regardless of the nature of its impossibility, you cannot force someone to love you; and hope, when it comes to such a situation is your real enemy.
