Finding the Balance of Love

Why do we often end up heartbroken even when we look forward to love? Is it because you don't cherish me, or because I don't know myself? If love hurts, we should let go, but people often choose to continue hurting because they fear the immediate collapse that comes with breaking up. But when you see the true face of a relationship and then get "dumped", that's a deeper level of pain and collapse. Having loved does not mean having been loved. In the world of emotions, is there a balance of equality? Why do we pursue being loved, but often only love ourselves? When I love you more than you love me, can I still love? Heartbreak hurts? But the most painful thing is not heartbreak, but not knowing why, and in the end, only repeated disappointments and failures. What is love? What is romance? I thought I understood love, but I never knew love. Yesterday's love is gone, how can we wait for tomorrow's love? If there is no equal love in the world, how can we love?
