Unrequited Love
Unrequited Love
-Noun
1. being in love with someone who does not, and will never, love you back.
You are the textbook definition of heartbreak,
a Rosaline to my Romeo, a Daisy to my Gatsby.
It's a modern-day tragedy;
the one I love doesn't love me.
My heart beats in the tempo of your favorite song,
my mind thinks in your favorite poems.
I want to be your favorite, I want to be your moon and stars.
I want you to love me like you love the sunrise every morning.
I pray that the sunrises you experience
are speckled with hues of pink and yellow
and shades of blue
and I hope they remind you of me.
