To the one sided lover,
I know you weren’t joking when you laughingly said, “You should be with me”. I know you hated seeing me with anyone else even when you laughed it off. I know you meant it when you said, “We should go on a date”. I know you were never “kidding” every time you said you were. I know you were my one sided lover…
I saw you stammering as you said the 3 magical words to me. I saw the hurt in your eyes when I told you I was in love…with someone else. I saw the hint of tears in your eyes as you looked away. I saw through your lie when you said, “I got ya, you fell for the joke”. I know you were my one sided lover…
I tried loving you more than a friend. I tried accepting your love for me. I tried seeing us together like you always saw. I tried and tried but I failed every time. I know you were my one sided lover…but I couldn’t love you back.
-The one who left your love unrequited

I was in situations like this more times than I’d care to count. Always someone’s one-sided lover…

Unrequited love is painful for both men and women. For some reason, in this poem, I assumed that it was a man, not a woman whose love is not reciprocated. Either way, you captured the pain of the one whose love wasn’t returned and the sadness of the one who wanted desperately to return that love but couldn’t.

I didn’t attempt to speak for any particular gender here because it can’t be easy for anyone. The pain is felt by both here no matter on what side of the coin they were. They were getting consumed in the grief which is what the picture depicts. You felt every part of it and understood the underlying pain. Thank you so much 🙂
