Unrequited Love

I don't usually write love themed poetry, but I tried it and I like it! So guess what the theme of my next few posts will be?

I think EVERYONE knows what unrequited love feels like. You care about someone with all your heart, and he/she is just perfect in all his/her imperfections to you. But sadly, the object of your undying affection doesn't feel the same way about you. *sigh* And you knew it all along- that's the worst part. But you're still gonna love them anyway right? Because this is love! You can't stop fantasizing about them, caring for them, wanting to always be there for them. It's an exhilarating experience! You know it's going to hurt, because they'll never feel the same way about you. Ah, this is unrequited love in all its grandeur, and all its agony!

UNREQUITED LOVE:

I see you there and my heart beats faster,

Faster than a racing horse.

And all I want is to be next to you,

By your side forever, of course

When I close my eyes and I see you

And whisper ‘I love you’ a thousand times,

I know the message will never reach you.

‘You’ll never like me,’ point all the signs.

But still I’ll continue to yearn,

Continue to dream and

Continue to think of you,

And care about you like nobody else can.

This is unrequited love in all its grandeur,

And all the feelings of flying and being crushed

Can’t stop me from loving you, no matter what,

And I’ll always remember that time our hands brushed.

No, I’ll keep loving you,

Knowing it’ll hurt me,

Knowing it’ll break me,

Knowing you’ll never love me.

This is unrequited love

In all its agony,

And I’ll love you knowing

You'll never love me.

Darling, whether you are a boy or a girl reading this, know that there will be plenty of girls and guys who will love you. And somewhere out there, your soul mate exists and your paths are fated to cross one day. Maybe this person just isn't worth it, because they don't realize how lucky they'd be to have you. You'll think to yourself a million times a day, "If only they understood, if only they realized! Oh, why won't they just open their eyes?" If they don't like you, it's their loss. It's not your fault at all, sweetie. So don't feel bad. It'll hurt. It'll hurt a DAMN lot more than you'll be willing to admit, but if they don't see your worth, they're not worth it.
