I love you.

Unrequited love. Horrible, isn't it?

For every man who does not love you, I do. My passion for you is that of 1000 burning suns, but my existence to you is irrelevant. My heart shall bleed love until I myself must concede to my own emotions. In my eyes you are everything, but my telling you this is pointless. Your heart belongs to no one, and certainly not to me. My love for you is greater than any emotion I've ever come upon, and I'm sure you know this. I've loved you for years, and shall for many more…

Nothing could ever release my heart from the torture of unrequited love, on such a level. Despite this, I will still love you, for your emotions are of more importance to me than my own. Even if you knew all this, your love still shan't be mine.

This letter was created for you, but you shall never see it, for I have kept it to myself to bask in my own sorrow. Perhaps I’ll learn something of importance, about love or life… Or perhaps the only thing I shall learn is that my hopes are useless, and my heart to you is nothing but an inconvenience. If it is, I'm deeply apologetic. I love you, more than I love myself.

 

 

 

Perhaps one day, I shall share this information; for now, I shall only admire you with my heart and eyes, rather than with my words.

Author's Note

This was something I wrote in a broken hearted state. Feel free to judge it as you may.

I love this prose/poem. It comes from deep within the heart. It shows unconditional love to the reader. It someday will be read by someone who needs to hear these exact words. As far as the font, I agree with you and Tony, there are very limited options here. I use Arial and Georgia and try to do a font size of 14 most times

Well done.

Thank you very much. I deeply appreciate your words, and your understanding in the meaning of them. Thanks for your font tips :)

This poem reminds me of one I wrote, many years ago. Titled, "Valentine to a Would-Be Lover" - I intended to deliver it to her door, but in the end I decided not to. An unrequited love, for sure! I enjoyed reading your poem!

Haha, through all ages and times of life, unrequited love stands strong. Also having the guts to present a valentine to her directly was a very hard choice to make! I don't blame you for sitting that one out. Thanks for the review :)

The problem with unrequited love is that almost always there is no cure. But despite that surely it is better to have strong feelings than none at all, even if for a while they overwhelm us

Your words capture that depth of feeling

Thank you for the kind review, I'm glad you grasp the true emotion of what I'm trying to say.

Hi Passionate -First of all please turn the font down. It sounds like - sorry reads like someone screaming.

I really love the opening line.
I don't know about us - as people - 'coming upon emotion(s)...' it's more that they swamp us, tsunami-like but the author's notes explain the lack of passion I guess - you were in a state of agony and possibly numbness.
I do and i'm sure many will relate to this write Passionate.
Well penned under such stress.

Sorry about the font, I went to edit the thing and it changed automatically. I'll change it back to something more gentle.

[Tony Jordan]

I frickin hate the limitations of the font on this site.

[Vaporvision]

Indeed. Anyway, now that I've changed the font, I can make light of your original review. Thank you for your kind words. Things that you can relate to are some of the most popular pieces in today's media, so I am glad that you do.

A side note - I wrote this to myself, to keep in my pocket... I felt it was beautiful enough on it's own to share.
