Unrequited love

How am I supposed to feel after expressing it.
It’s so bad, this unrequited love.
I yearn to have you love me but it’ll never happen.
Why must I be so close to you yet so far, for now I hold onto you, but how long can I keep going.
It’s a bad religion to be in love with someone who doesn’t love you back.
Had you also had feelings for would things be different or would we both be too destructible for each other.
This love for you is so far deep that I can’t help but pray that one day you’ll wake up to love me back.
