The duality of unrequited love

On the subject of unrequited love, which has haunted me for an eternity, there rests a fine line between those who remain hopeful, waiting for their person, and those who grow tired, awaiting for something, someone who may never come. We are so filled with love to give yet no one to pour into. Our cups shall continue to overflow, however, instead of the comfort that love brings to others, we forever drown in our dying hopes of experiencing a love which may not exist. Not for us atleast. Not for me. And in the end, one's fleeting desire to be seen, to be chosen, to be loved, shall be the reason our cups break, leaving us all the more broken and hopeless. How does one live a life absent of the one thing they crave so hopelessly. Perhaps time will narrate a different story, one filled with the love we are yet to receive. Until then, we remain prisoners of our own hearts, haunted by that which we see others experience so effortlessly, yet strong enough to endure that which we are burdened by - the heart of a hopeless romantic.

To be in love with someone and they don’t even see you.

To be in love with someone and they don’t even see you.

To stand in a room and everything is blurring except for them and they will never realise. They will never know.

To watch them hold someone else and you want them to be happy, yet the twinge in your heart says otherwise.

How hard it is not to run and leap into their arms because they are he only thing in this world that feels like home. Yet they don’t even see you.

I don’t know how I will ever get over this feeling, but I know that I have to. I know that I cannot depend oh somebody else to bring me happiness, yet without him I am alone.

Unrequited.

How do you deal with loving someone who will never love you in the same way, especially with having a mental illness?
