To be loved
And to be cared about
Are not the same
One may exist
Without the other
And may cause hurt
A parent will love
But may not care
About their child
A friend will care
Yet not always love
Their companions
A partner should love
And should care
About the one they call theirs
Care is all I ask
Of you and of them
Why must it be
So tirelessly difficult
Why must the minimum
Be so far out of reach
