Analysis of Unrequited Love



Love known
 Love unrequited

Forever Lost
 End in sight
 Road is gone
 Path is broken

Truth untold
 Light forgotten
 Will they know?
 Will they love back?

Questions unanswered
 Stones unturned
 Total confusion

Do they love?
 Do they like?
 Is it possible?
 Or is it a mistake?
