unrequited love is such a bittersweet emotion.
you feel so much for another person and despite it not being reciprocated you continue to feel it. its not a crush. its not just liking them. its just wholeheartedly loving them. you wait for them to take initiative and send that first text but you end up doing it anyways. they stop the conversation but you’re not ready to let it go. and even after they’ve found someone else to love, you care for them and you continue to love them and cry about it silently. there’s so much heartfelt pure emotion but so much pain all at the same time.

it's so similar and yet so vastly different from heartbreak.
