Unrequited

Submitted by highschool zombie on April 7, 2008 - 20:29.

Is it okay to like someone
Who can never like you back?
Unrequited love
Oh how often we have met
I can not count the times
But I'm sure they outnumber fingers
I am doomed to this one-sided affliction
Always the one wanting
Never the one wanted
I'm afraid my own romance will never come
My suffering in this infatuation is all my own
But the friendly smiles from my dear
Must sustain me for now
Because unrequited love is better
Then no love at all
