Unrequited Love



To love is one thing, to be loved is another.  A love that is not reciprocated is another heartbreak altogether.  The feeling of butterflies, or shivers all over, the intense feeling of being lighter than a feather.  An overwhelming despair of one you loved is now lost, you would give anything, do anything, be anything to have them no matter the cost. To achieve this feeling is the most precious gain, yet now all your left with is an unforgettable kiss in the rain.
