relimerence 

The feeling of strong, (unhealthy) unrequited love. People in a state of Relimerence will tend to do extreme mental gymnastics to believe that the other person is in love with them. If you know someone in Relimerence, support them emotionally but make sure to keep letting them know that their "love" does not feel the same about them, ideally this would result in them leaving Relimerence.

"Don't spend your money on a broken jar of honey
Man, it's sweet, but it sure won't last you long
And you'll be complacent when you find a love that's patient
Don't you weep when the night finds you alone

But God, she kills me sure
That sweet relimerence"
