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.
