Questions in the name of love...

Playing number two, whether due to the feeling or belief of not being able to get any better or just not wanting to commit to anyone, most people will play this role. Who are we to judge someone else's actions or reasons? You can't help who you love, even if they love someone else. Isn't it true that most number twos want to eventually become number one? Isn't that why most people stay in these relationships? With the hopes of the person they love leaving the one they are with to eventually be with them? (Notice I am saying "most" because I know this does not apply to everyone.) How long do you sit around and wait to become number one though? Should you just continue to "live in the moment" for as long as the moment lasts? But what about those lonely nights when you are yearning to be touched and they are at home touching and being touched? What about those spare of the moments when you need someone to talk to but they are not available because they are talking to their number one? When other people flirt with you do you flirt back? Do you go out on dates with other people? Are these things against the code? Is there even a code for these situations? Is it even cheating? How do you commit to someone that is "committed" to someone else? What do you do when someone else is yearning to make you their number one? Do you let go of your part time love and take a chance at 100% love? Is that grass possibly greener on the other side? When it becomes a question of what you are worth, what is the question? Are you worth taking a chance at love or are you worth more than being number two? What happens if you eventually become number one? How do you go from number two to being number one and truly trust that person? The chances we take for love.
