Unrequited: adjective, of a feeling, especially love, not returned.
They say what goes around comes around
But my love for her?
Will it come around?
I am so much in love, that I feel heavy
Burdened
In carrying the weight alone
I can never tell her
I can never tell another soul
The weight is too hard to bear
How did I get here?
I had a good life going
Had all the love I needed
Since I met her, life is different
There is no normal anymore
She rocked my life
And the irony
She knows nothing about this
To her, I am a good friend, no more
When she laughs, I laugh with her
But it burns inside
It hurts deep deep somewhere
When she cries
I am broken, I fall apart
Even as I provide her my solid shoulder
These barriers of society
Who formed them?
And why?
Why can’t we speak our mind
Love freely whoever we want
Express ourselves to the last drop of emotion
Love doesn’t know these rules
It doesn’t conform
Then why should we?
Even if I could tell her
Maybe she wouldn’t feel the same
Maybe her normal is different
But that’s ok with me
At least I’d get the weight off my chest
At least I would know that she knows
Unrequited, I can handle
But I don’t want to die
Without her ever knowing how I feel
