"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T.S. Eliot differs from the conventional love song. It is rather the melancholy mutterings of a displaced, inhibited man. Whether "The Love Son of J. Alfred Prufrock" was meant to be an expression of love or not, I feel the true distinction rests in the importance of action and awareness.

According to Shakespeare's Let Me not to the Marriage of True Minds, when one is in love you must admit your faults. It is not love if you cannot get through a tough time in your relationship.
