Crystal Tears of the Heart

The supreme love felt for that beautiful soul is enough to break your heart, yet it fills it up to overflowing... returned or not. Unrequited love binds the heart and blinds the eye so that you feel like you didn't just swallow the hook, but you crapped the sinker. There's no turning back when it happens, not that you want to. You just wanna keep it forever as it is, but wonder how it would feel if she returned the love that's pouring out of your bleeding heart. Don't let go, it's a bittersweet torture that you wouldn't trade for the world. When she's dug herself under your skin so deep that she feels like the sweetest cactus spine that's ever pierced you, you know you've got it bad. Freedom is not the desire you possess... it's the feel of her lovely lips pressed on yours, her heart beating in a wild tandem with your own, as if they were one and the same. It's when all you want is to hold her in your arms for all eternity, but she's just out of reach. Even on her worst day, you see her as the brightest star in the sky. That star, even when she's so far out of reach, all you wanna do is touch her the way you do in your fantasies. This is the real meaning of unrequited love. Undeniable. Irrefutable. Passionate. Bittersweet torture.
