HOW I MET MY UNREQUITED LOVE
"It's hard to wait around for something that you know might never happen. But it's even harder to give up when you know it's everything you want".
It's funny how you can meet unreciprocated love, one-sided affection and lingering feelings for someone. This was how I met my unrequited love.
I met him at a night party at school. I had actually seen him on many occasions, but I had not really gotten the chance to communicate with him. On this fateful day, I went to the party with my friends who had partners but unfortunately for me I was the loner of the day we were already party vibing and all then I saw him sitting alone at the corner of the bar which is quite unusual because he is a very bright and jovial person, then I decided to summon the courage to walk up to him and engage in a conversation with him. Talking with him on that beautiful night made us become very close and that led to our friendship.
After that day we became really close, we shared secrets, bought stuffs for each other wore matching outfits, we worked together in class, texted frequently and ate together, too. Then later I found out I had feelings for him, but I could not tell him out of fear of being rejected so I kept it within myself. Each day I would go into college in a perfectly coordinated outfit, red lipstick and a sassy yet friendly personality – I lived in hope that he would like me back, I longed for it so much that I could feel an aching in my chest. I couldn’t look at anybody else, only him – he was all I could think about. Then Valentine’s Day {14th Feb,200*} My first Valentines Day with my unrequited love was the day decided to tell him about my feelings for him I was well prepared with a letter, flowers and our friendship necklace. In the comes to me and says that he has proposed to my friend and she had accepted it too (God no one can imagine how my situation was, smile on face but my broken heart would never heal after that). I supported his decision because one thing I had always wished for was his happiness and since that was the only thing i could do was giving up my love for his happiness I was ready to do it. Though I still love him till today I am always happy whenever I see him with her because that was his happiness.
Unrequited love is the most painful thing in the world and if you find yourself liking someone who doesn’t like you back, I hope you truly find peace. Unlike other love, unrequited love isn’t shared, it’s all yours. They might not love you the way you want them to but the right person will at the right time. I know it might be hard but this too shall pass.
