Real Life: Is Unrequited Love, Love?

So, today I was talking to a friend today…

Actually, i’m going to back it up.

So for the past couple of years I’ve had my fair share of “unrequited love” stories. I’ve been so incredibly depressed about them and i’ve been so incredibly happy when things turned out okay. But I moved on and I know now that things will turn out alright and even though they might not, things are going to be okay for everyone in the end.

Well, now that you know that, back to today. I was typing to a friend and when I type to them i’m usually spewing stuff on my mind and telling them what I think of their situations and stuff. I almost typed “unrequited love isn’t love.” Now a year ago or even a couple months ago if I was told that, I would have defended it with every ounce of my body. I would have given you one million reasons why that is NOT true.

and I even hate myself a little bit for even asking this now….but is unrequited love, real love? I have heard people say “Of course it is! Even though the other person may not love you, all you know is that you still love them and that it’s completely true.” and then you hear people saying “What? No. Unrequited love is just obsession. You don’t know the person or you can’t still love them unless there is a mutual love.” ‘Mutual addiction’ as Chuck would say.

But I’m not even sure what I believe. I don’t even know what to think about it…

I feel like you can’t truly love a person until you know a lot about them and you can learn to love both their best qualities and their worst qualities, but then I don’t at the same time because I might believe in love at first sight. and then I believe that even if you do love them for all of that and they still don’t love you, that’s not your fault! It can be love even if those feelings aren’t returned….

ah, this just made such a mess of my brain.

PLEASE let me know what you all think about this. I’d love to hear your input.

Answer me?

Love, as life is tricky. I guess you’ve really got to be prepared for what you’re getting into. Well, that’s like telling you to be prepared to die, no one’s ever really prepared, we’re all just waiting for that feeling. That feeling of being loved, cared for. Everyone wants that feeling, no matter who you are. You want someone to put their arms around you when you’re sad and tell you, “Everything’s going to be okay, i’m here for you. I love you.” We’re all looking to have that special someone, the person who makes you smile bigger than you ever have before, feel the butterflies in your stomach and be completely vulnerable, but knowing it’s okay because you love them. The thing with love is, there is always a down side. You never want that person to leave you, but what if they do? What then? You’ve lost that good feeling and your heart feels like it’s slowly sinking into non-existence. I know the feeling, trust me.

Love is dangerous and love is blissful, be careful. And hang on for the ride, because let me tell you, you’ll never feel anything quite like this.

Don’t waste Love; dream and be free.

Did you know when you dream about a person, that person went to sleep thinking of you? Did you know when the person you like looks at you and then looks down, they’re crazy about you? Did you know that when a person looks at you directly in the eyes they love you more than you think? Did you know when that person looks at you alot they can’t live without you? Did you know when they leave, they say bye too much because they don’t want to let you go?

“Love is war.”

5333. I wish you would love me as much as I love you.
