UNREQUITED LOVE

jayb_garang

My heart is taking longer to accept what my mind already knows.
I said I love you, a vulnerable expression of me wishing to share this feeling mutually.
I eagerly awaited your response watching hours turn to days and days turning into weeks.
Your silence was an answer whether knowingly or unknowingly with which I have utmost respect for.
It's okay if you don't feel the same, albeit a bit sad that's life. The universe did not align in this case.
Sometimes the people we love don't love us back in the same way which is okay.
Nothing changes from here, we are still the same friends we were, we are and we will be.
Just less love dovey poems but more of things we love.
I hope you find love someday, and I hope you will be ready for it when it comes.

Love,
JB

    A poem that strikes to the heart of what love is and that we do not control it, neither in our selves or in others. Acceptance of this is key to happieness.

          I do a lot of ‘Unrequited Love’ Poems myself. I think there’s more of a Story, Emotion there.
          Good Poem.
