Unrequited Love
It hurts.
It really, really hurts.
You fall in love,
you're happy for a while,
you think it'll last..
Until it doesn't.
Until it ends.
In heartbreak.
In sadness.
In pain.
I thought I was over it.
I thought we could finally just be friends again.
I was wrong.
I still love him.
Not just as a friend.
It hurts.
He doesn't return those feelings anymore.
It hurts..so bad.
One-sided love.
Unreturned feelings.
It's all too much.
I can't handle it anymore.
I can't ignore it anymore.
I hate it.
I ate that I still have these feelings.
I hate that I still have this love,
that will never get returned again.
He makes me so happy and I can't let him go.
No matter how hard I try,
I've become too attached,
I've become too infatuated.
I can't ignore this unrequited love
as long as I remember the love
that was once returned with such adoration.
