Unreturned Love

I love you. I do not mean the kind of love which is simply a heightened emotion the rises and falls over time and events. I do not mean the kind of love based on physical attraction which gradually fades away. I do not mean the kind of love that demands or even asks to be loved in return.

My love for you is patient. It waits in hope that one day it can be fully expressed but has no expectations. My love for you is permanent. It has never faded over time but continues to grow like a seed budding to become a flower nurtured by tears and warmth.

My love wants your happiness, but knows that happiness is not given only received. My love hurts when you suffer and is concerned with potential anguish you may experience.

In the same moment of time, my love for you knows the greatest joy and ecstasy being in your presence and the deepest sorrow and pain from not being fully realized. From the beginning there has been only two possibilities: mutual love between us or being permanently alone.

And so I wait in hopes that my love can be fully expressed and that I will not be permanently alone without you.
Ladies. Okay I couldn't have written this if it weren't true. Question: Do I stand to gain or loose anything sharing it with the person. The feelings are known to her but not returned by her.

Included in the list

    same situation in reverse. and i don't know either. I pretty much just pray for the Lord to take my feelings away. When you're in love with your best friend and they don't seem to see it or maybe they do and don't return it, what do you do? For me, to disclose my position would be a bad idea, because i'm a girl. It's the man's job to lead. For you...well, you're going to have to pray. When you have the Lord's peace you'll know you are doing exactly what He wants.

    I have no idea of the outcome of this piece...Having said that I hope you did share it with her..If nothing else you would have peace of mind that she knew how you felt.....God bless Helen

    A Very Heartfelt Poem

    My heart goes out to you. There is no easy answer. If she is with another, I would go slow. If they are not meant to be together, then your oppurtunity will come to you when they break up. And if they don't ever break up then they were meant to be together. I know it's hard but wait and see. In the mean time you never know who may come along. Be paient and let things happen slowly. Take care, Sandy This was a BEAUTIFUL POEM

    awww you are in love with someone and awww she does not return it well one will never know unless you try so just be open and honest and tell her these feelings I think it is worth the chance.

    wow. maybe i'm just being cynical here, but what would you gain by telling her? i don't think you should, it would most likely make things awkward. if you know they are not returned why put the both of you in that position?

    That's what I've been thinking, but at times I want to express what I've said here.

    As long as she knows it, thats all youcan ask, then she will ask herself at some stage, is it what she wants, you can but wait patiently

    I think you should show her. She's obviously missing out on something special. I dont think you should give up. My boyfriend didnt like me for a long time, and I almost gave up, but never did. Then he ended up falling inlove with me, and we've been together 8months
