I love unrequited love more than the reciprocated kind. Unrequited love is something raw and beautiful and unique. To continue loving someone, no matter how much it hurts, even if they never return that love? That's beautiful. To stay up late at night thinking of them, even while knowing they will never do the same. To write songs, poetry, and love letters that will never be seen by anyone besides yourself. To feel so strongly for someone deserving of such adoration. It's beautiful. Even the parts that hurt, where you find yourself uncomfortably envious of your love interest's relationships. Or how you might cry yourself to sleep to cope with the fact that they will never be there to wipe your tears away. I love unrequited love. However, I do dislike experiencing it. I tend to become dry with someone I feel one-sided things for, and eventually drift away until we cut one another off for the greater good. When I love someone so strongly and to such an extent, I can't be satisfied with the simple things. I suppose I'm naturally selfish at heart? (〃´ω`〃)
