A love that is one-sided, malnourished, and weak.
It is felt only by one person for another that does not return the same feeling.
It is desperate, frustrating, and out-of-control. I am personally experiencing it now with a
boy I am so deeply in
love with. We are together, and his
love for me was warm and all-encompassing a couple of months ago. Recently he revealed to me that he does not love me anymore. It feels as though I am suffering as much as if he passed. The grief is immense. He has told me that he still wants me around as his
best friend. There is no light in his eyes when he says this. He is distant, detached, gone. I am neglected by his presence and his lost feelings for me. I feel absolutely lonely.
Now, I must do one of the hardest things of my life and tell the
boy I
love, the one I thought I would get married to and
love endlessly, that my
love has to end for my own sanity. I have to tell him there is no place for him in my life. A life I had always pictured with him in it. I must tell the one I love that I cannot live like this anymore.
"How can someone fall out of
love with me and still want to be together?"
"That sounds like a unique case of unrequited
love."
"I just cannot believe I still am so in
love with him. I'd rather be in love with a stranger than in love like this."
