Unrequited love

For all those who experience one-sided emotional attachments. Instead of longing and heartache, let's either find someone suitable or seize the day and share our feelings. 

Unrequited love
By Michelle Morris 
01/12/2024

She sees him every day
The smiles they share are golden
But her feelings are deeper than friendship 
There's unrequited love and hope

Sometimes she has these wonderings
If it's one-sided or returned
Should she find someone more suitable 
Or allow this love to burn?

Brightly and deeply 
Forever throughout Time
In a Universe ignited 
Incandescent and sublime 

Is it time to take a chance?
Is it time to tell him all?
The carpe diem courage
That makes us stand tall

To fly with Angel wings 
To tango with the Gods
Unrequited love is lost
When we don't take a chance
