Unrequited love,
The most painful love of all,
To love and not be noticed,
Was there ever a nobler thing?
Loving but unknowingly rejected,
A one-way street,
To give but not receive,
Your love dismissed.
Sorrow and joy together mixed,
Happiness and pain side by side,
Love unreturned,
Love seen as not needed.
Was there ever a circumstance more virtuous?
To love and be not loved in turn,
The most painful love of all,
Unrequited love.
