Unrequited love, a bittersweet symphony
That plays in the depths of my heart
Like a melody that never finds it's harmony.

From head to toe, I fell for you
Every inch of your being captivating my soul.
But to you, I was just a passing glance.
A mere object of desire, a sexual art.

I spent sleepless nights pinning for you,
Tears staining my pillow, longing for your touch.
But the realisation dawned on me
That my love or interest was unreciprocated, one-sided.

So I made the choice, for my own sanity
To let go of the unattainable dream
To see you nothing more than a friend
Of platonic connection, devoid of romantic notions.

It may have been a relief for you
To know that my feelings have shifted
But for me, it was a heart-wrenching decision
To bury my feelings for you deep within.

I will cherish the memories we shared,
The laughters the conversations, the moments
But I will no longer hold onto false hope
For love that will never be returned.
