Unrequited Love
I've been there. I mean, I'm LonelyGirl afterall. I've gone through all the motions, I've asked all the questions. You know, the usual- why not me? What is this? Who am I to you? The trick, I've found is to just... ride it out. If it happens, well and good. One might feel like this feeling won't ever end, like you'd just wallow in misery until he/she decides to reciprocate your undying love or you die, whichever comes first.
But the truth is, you get over it. Your heart stops beating for someone who's not chasing back. It feels like it takes forever but well, at least it will end.
Unrequited love is the worst. It's the worst kind of loneliness- feeling so strongly for someone who feels nothing. Love is like the only reason anyone ever really does anything... so when it's not recieved, it hurts than when a love story ends. Because at least with love stories that end, it had the chance to start, you know? Unrequited love stories, especially those that stay that way, it wasn't given a chance to begin. So not only are you tormented by the fact that the person you love is not in love with you, you're also haunted by constant thoughts of 'what could have been'.
And in the words of some dead poet:
"Of all the words of tongue and pen, these are the saddest: it might have been."
But it gets easier because however much it hurts right now, how ever much you think your heart can't ever beat again,. All you have to do is take comfort in the fact that soulmates aren't real, or there's not just one person for each person, and that 'happily ever after' is a term Walt Disney invented.
