unrequited love
a love where one person doesn't return the others feelings
at one point in life someone has felt unrequited love
if you told me years ago i would have an unrequited love i wouldn't have believed you
i would've said "if i got rejected i would just move on. its easy"
if you asked me now how to move on from an unrequited love i would say
you don't.
you learn to forget and pretend to have never heard their name.
you learn to stop yourself from searching for them when you hear someone say their name
you pretend certain words don't effect you
you pretend you don't miss them when in reality you do
you learn to stop checking your phone but every once and a while can't help but check
you force every thought of them away
you always tell yourself "its over" or "its pointless i need to move on"
you learn to stop looking everywhere for answers
you learn to stop comparing every person you meet to them
you learn to stop,pretend,and forget but you never move on
because lets face it no matter how many times you look up 'how to move on from an unrequited love'
it never works
moving on from someone you never had a chance with is hard
because you wonder how it could've been different
because you wonder how happy you could've been
because you're stuck in the 'what ifs'
so do you ever move on?
if you're lucky even if it takes years you'll find someone that loves you back
and you'll realize that unrequited love you had long ago was just a bump in the road, a long one but one that was meant to happen.
but if you're like me you'll always wonder about the what ifs and how things could've been different
if you're like me you still try to find him in everyone you meet
you'll still love him
you'll still miss him
but you'll pretend to have never heard his name
because in the end the only one hurtimg is you

Poetry"love balances on a small line something so small can break it the love changes without a warning and you ask yourself when did it really start to break"
