It shouldn't be hard to love someone

It shouldn't be hard to love me.
It shouldn't hurt to love you.
But it does...

What do you do when you love somebody so much that it hurts? It hurts because the person you love finds it hard to love you back. We all learn at a young age that if it hurts, don't do it; don't put your hand over flame because it hurts, try not to trip and fall because it hurts, so should we try not to love because it hurts?
I am so blessed to still be alive and I cherish each moment, but I want what everyone does: I want to be loved.
So why is it hard to love me?
And why do I love you, even though it hurts?
