Unrequited Love

 

A reciprocated reply would make a world of difference, but this unrequited love has sapped the light out of you, now everything doesn't matter anymore. Taking its toll on you, as every misleading beacon in the midsts of this mist sends a happy spree of hope like a surge of dope into your veins, and the withdrawal seems to kill a little bit of you every time.

This happiness is a drug and in its depression is the only comfort it can offer. How much before you break? How many breaks before you can muster the strength and declare that you had enough? or How long more can you wait before you tell that person how you really feel? For love that is one way, it is to love, but to love in vain...  Get the rejection out of the way and move on with life, wallow in this misery and taste the bitterness of loneliness. But what if the love is requited? I guess you'll never know till you try, so wear your heart on your sleeve before it is too late, realize the fear that your throbbing heart may eventually cool and be shielded by a wall of ice built by an architect of pain. And it will take a tremendous amount of amourous heat to melt that coldness away, if ever you are to love again.

(Dedicated to one of my readers who requested a writeup on a one-way love affair)

Even if the love is requited, it can turn out to be a challenging roller coaster ride with the relationship going 'pfft' before it's even properly up and running. In other words, an unrequited love can't be that bad after all if we choose to view it from a different perspective... =)

[Dyah]

Nice reading....I love to read this blog.Very inspiring.Start from the word "A reciprocated"..I am interested to read more....Thanks Casey

[Sammi]

do you know something?

[F e L e T s I]

"In other words, an unrequited love can't be that bad after all if we choose to view it from a different perspective... =)"

i totally agree with Dee... it does depend on the person... on such situation ... on how he/she would respond... Godbless you all^__^

Loves???

[Enna Eiluj]

i love this blog entry
i can so totally relate
"This happiness is a drug and in its depression is the only comfort it can offer"

I just recovered from a one sided love affair and reading this blog had just brought back memories i so wanted to forget

this blog post had made me want to cry!

[meliza]

one way love...wow...if someone is in this kind of love i feel pity for bear...its easy for us to say that everything that we do, feel,the situation we're at... its a choice...
having this kind of love ...uhhh...right... you could feel happiness but for how long?
but is it for real?...you have to make an effort to let the bear know what you really feel...your silence crushed you heart into pieces...
know what if happiness is a drug...love is an addiction...

[Lynette]

this is so touching. I think I'm a fan. (Though I only started reading your blog today) I hope you don't mind... ^_^

[u R mYn]

i've had that kind of relationship so early. and it really hurts. it's undescribable and i never want it to happen again. but it keeps on happening. how will i ever avoid committing the same mistakes thrice?

[Lins]

Hi Casey... =) to love and be loved is the best feeling in the world... you brighten up my day.. =) i love reading your blog!

[virginia]

hi.nice post. i'm sure there are still plenty out who can relate to what we call 'unrequited love'. i for one is a victim sometime long ago --but no regrets, i've learned so many things with this 'unrequited love' and the most important is that---its better to have loved even though its 'unrequited' than not at all!

[valerie sie]

love is killing,love can make u hapy and love can make u cry.i dont need love coz i know one day i will be die so i dont want people who love me be sad i have done to someone who love me he know it pls 4give me i cant love u coz i will leave u oneday i just hope u happy n find a good gal than me pls pray for me....ur love val.

[C a T h M i C o]

one way love would take so much sacrifice. it's as if lookin' into the eyes of the one you love as that person turns his eyes on someone else.it's heartbreaking to love without being loved in return. but sometimes,that's how love works. it teaches us how to be patient and strong to endure the pain of loving someone who does not, or maybe will never feel the same as we do.

[CRABIE]

Love is unrequited,if can that is swap not love anymore.

[jocelyn]

hello! the title really caught my attention.. yap, what you wrote is really true... sad it may be but only if you'll hope that one day it becomes a 2-way love affair. so, just be happy for the person you love and be happy that you know how it feels to be inlove and come to realize that you are human afterall...

[janice]

i'm an unrequitted love member before, until now he doesn't know and it makes me wonder if i can muster the courage to let the subject of my affection know what i feel even as we are living far away just maybe, hu knows... or just save face and keep my secret til the end?

[YAN_Hyun Mi]

what a bLog! the best! ¬Ü¬

Unrequitted Love eh? well i guess im one of the members..hehehe And the worst thing about this "one-way love" of mine... is that... he's gay...hahaha But that's ok... it's better this way... at Least "one-way love" could never hurt me that much, i can't demand, i won't expect, and he can never hurt my feelings... becuase i already know that he can never be mine... [sigh]

[Princess]

nice entry... I can very well relate... keep the blogs coming... ;-)

[' ' ' ' ' ' ' ']

"..you'll never know till you try.." -i definitely agree to this..coz in order to live life to the fullest..we really have to take risks..

i've also experienced unrequited love..that's why i could somehow relate to this post..yeah it hurts..but we do have this so called coping skills which could help us in getting over somethin that's not for us..it's easier said than done,but there would come a time when the only thing that we ought to do is to move on.

nice post btw ^_^

[Rowee]

Hi Casey,

its my first time to view your blog. its a great blog entry. i can relate myself... thanks! ;)

[Maricelle]

thought i'm all alone with what i call "TRAGEDY" thank you...

[mhenmhen]

haaayss. naiiyak ako

[rain]

to love n being in love is a happiness,but its all a fantasy,so wat if its a unrequited love,at least,u wont get hurt further.u never know wat is the outcame of a true love when u r together.love fade.

[rachelle]

blah blah..

[yassema]

it's been a long time when i had a dose of that so-called 'unrequitted love'.. though it is painful, new perspective is served on your plate. it's either you savor it or keep on loving the pain it's causing you.. assalamu alaikum cassey!

[Samuel]

Life brings me some experience
Between lose and know a big strenge behind it
To know, lose is a part of chance
Move up or turn off
Just a same way to make a greatfull life
Just between a line

Perhaps I do some fail

[JUVILYN]

hi casey,

Its my first time to view your blog..its a nice blog entry...Hmmm for me its better to love even if unrequited than not love at all!so..keep loving guys..life is a choice!

[karEn]

wow, another excellent thoughts from u Cassey!!!

i don't know, maybe unrequited love is mostly experienced by women..(Filipino women), is it in the culture or what? coz' I've lot of friends (including myself anyway) who are afraid to confess what they feel...

[BoY]

[YAHTERZ LIZZZ]

hi Casey, whew nice story and theres a part of it that i can relate with my past.no matter wat uve been tru dont stop loving,itz good to be inlove

[anoj]

its a nice story..

keep on posting....

[khishen]

it is a nice story!!

[Rei]

I really like this piece of yours. Guess it's so true.

But sometimes, maybe just to comfort myself, I will make myself think that love should be unconditional, so I won't feel so stupid for loving someone so much.

Once appeared in newspapers was a piece on "Love and Being Loved" written by me. Which is more blissful? I guess they are both sitting on both sides of a weighing scale.
I always thought being loved is a blessing, but to love someone is the ability that God has given us to bless someone.

its always a sad fact to know that your love cannot be reciprocated. nevertheless, what's important is you've experience love in this lifetime.

nice but painful...

[Cj]

Wow, so this is what "adult love" feels like. Good thing I'm not aspiring to fall in love. Or maybe just because i'm such a cynic :p.

[Blanca]

wow! its really painful...huh! i was able to relate...im a broken hearted now, but still im willing to gamble my feelings...co'z i believe that everyone of us...deserves to be loved by the person that God has reserv for us....why we feel pain in love.???..because, we have loved the person that God has meant to someone...so keep loving...u will finally met the one that is really meant for you...:) :)

[maricel]

i jaz glance your blog

[Jesse]

perhaps like stars, dreams and everything unreachable, unrequited love sits aloof on a pedestal in our lives - a gravity point which everything and anything would lead to at that infatuation shrouded period
but are we that much in love?or it is the rejection and failure commands our misery?

[Gregory]

I undergone exactly the same situation....love can motivate wonders yet can deal a crushing blow.....how strong one has to be???? I always pray fo strength to move on.....

[eunice wit]

huh! that's real painful.. been there... :(.. may i copy this? thank you!!

Amazing bLog! I just realized something...whew! keep on posting new bLog esp. inspirational one! thanks!

[wodz]

let me use a few of your words in my shout box.. ^^?

I just broke up with someone.. last night., i have been thinking all night now and haven't had any sleep..
it was a four-year secret relationship which I have broken away from.

I have already accepted the fact that our relationship was one way, even though i thought I was loved.

the signs were there but i wasn't really looking..

then i read this article of yours..

it kind of gave me comfort that it wasn't really a bad thing that i have loved after all..

[Lins]

Hi Casey....
i interested with the title so i read and its nice..
even its a painful love story..
Some of my friends said that u will never really love someone until u been hurt in " love ".....

[ghElai]

This is the best thing I've ever read!!.. You're a great writer..

[bebie]

Love is for everybody and for nobody sometimes if you happen to hurt. But anyway, always try to live in hopes of love. nice blos. write more.....

[raudah]

good

[pearl]

no comment as of now

[may]

yes, it's hard to love one way, and even harder to tell how one really feels..but sometimes, it's not just the rejection we're afraid of or we're trying to get away from, it's how our relationship turns out after telling the truth. would we remain friends, or would one or even both try to stay away?

[pearl]

when you love someone reveal your true color.and if someone like you of the way you are it is love...

[Huda]

u're a good writer.

Well said. this actually made my day despite how depressing it is to actually experience this type of love. thanx!

[icee]

love sometimes hurt...it can make one person sometimes hate the world...but for my own experience, love is sacrifice..what shall i do if love became the haindrance of all my dremas i wanted to achieve in my future?

[sheena]

unrequited love......yup indeed,im one of the pitiful victims of it......life offers no assurance of a perfect happiness but just a ephemeral moment to treasure for a lifetime......magnificent blogs with heartwarming thoughts......good day casey!!!!

[len]

I guess if u love someone you need to give your trust with someone even u think there is a doubt on your mind you need to be understand, what is left behind because in the end there is no chance for saying the things that you want to say to the person you love... when its too late!!!!

[NENEK]

My cases are more complicated... It happens everytime....First it will start with him showing interests in me...then it will be me suffering the "unrequited love"...maybe I was just being played and I m so naive to fall in the trap...

[tresha_sy]

ahmmmm....nyc one

[loudani]

unrequited...
i cannot endure that word but is one thing i've been experiencing for years... maybe pride always plays on my part but being in doubt covers my thoughts...

a parous thoughts of undying love only that happens on a one-sided love is all i could ever think of for now...8(

[السيد رئيس الو]

i for got the phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[erika]

it seems that u really know a lot about love huh..? well guess u can help me move on.. Chika.. great job bout ur blog..

[thYme]

do we feel sorry for the love we give? love unreturned is still love. unrequited love, yes, but it tells more of the person, her capacity to give love unconditionally. but let this not blind her; let this not put her life on hold...nor let someone decides for her happiness!

[rhiz]

if u enter in one relationship.. don't assure it forever... times come it gonna worse..unless it's tell death..but trials are always around....be strong and keep some for yourself that can help you to survive in the future,,,,love yourself than anybody else...

[nen]

i think everybody's been hurt or would get hurt, in loving.loving someone in silence is for me,craziness.letting someone know how you really feel,though embarrassing,is morally acceptable.risking ur pride doesn't necessarily mean losing it.if you fail,just pretend it never happened.you just have to get going no matter how tough it's gonna get.

[jenni]

hi,its meaningful

[mutiara sari]

Geee...1 other side of love, eh?? Very well said, just like all those things had happened behind...Just like other things, Love is also about choosing...Dare 2 to take it or You just get nothing...
Life is about hurts and how we can deal with it...

[belo]

whew!! love speaks...

[Charity Jane]

love is doesnt matter atless your happy.

[Charity Jane]

i hate about love ew! love is just for stupid person like you!

[Charity Jane]

ok if you like love, why dont you shout in the highest building what you feel instead wreating this stupid thing!

[Charity Jane]

do you like to die to save your love one till are you not scared to die, i think if you will save her your a big stupid. thiers so many person in this world you can find a new one. and by the way love maybe in realty and for lifetime but not for endless love im sure of that.

[Caloie]

yes, true... but, but, but... (sigh)

[inna--21276--]

that's a great blog..

nice.... ilike

[aline]

Just saw your blog and I found it very interesting. Yup, unrequited love really happens. And it would continue on as long as there are people who do not care about hurting other people that they have a relationship with. If you love someone, you are supposed to be the first one to protect their interest and avoid hurting them.

[Ana]

If there is really such a thing as unrequited love as you described it, I just pray I won't be feeling that someday. Nice entry, anyway. :)

that's really crazy and inevitable how much we want to move on.. love at times drives us into a slave we never thought of..that speaks of me..true how long cud i stay at the backseat and wouldnt have a voice to air out how i feel due to the fear that i might lose the only love i have..really what a pity

[marymargaret]

when you love because you are inlove, everything is unconditional.joy springs from the heart knowing you allowed someone to feel your love. but when you love coz you want to be loved thats when you feel the "one-way" love only because comparison steps in...of what you do for him and what he does in return.now who do you love?him or yourself?i say commitment is two way but love...has always been unconditional...

[MAY FLEUR]

So painful,
But its nice, ,
inspiring one

[mEgU]

Yeah... Unrequited love... Sure, it's painful just like what I'm feeling right now and what's worst is you got that unrequited love and yet you can't see the person you really, really like and want to see... it's breaking my heart!!!

[almira]

sometimes we do not understand anything that comes in our lives...pain,betrayal,life being unfair but that's how life is and that's also how love is. I believed that as long as you love someone even that person does not return the love you feel it still worth it,it is better you told it than never revealing your true feelings and besides as the the bible says...these three remain:faith,hope and love;and the greatest of these is LOVE.

[jomai]

but gotta admit though...to love and not be loved entails a lot of hurt & pain. so acceptance must be at hand. it is not called unconditional love for nothing.

[teena]

love???skit s ulo yan..itz nice 2 be single en free dan having a comitment 2 someone not deserving 2 love dat much...

[Belinda]

"One way love would take so much sacrifice" i agree with it, but when u found tat your sacrifice is worthied then you will think in a different perspective. Although "being love" is alwyas more happiness than "to love". however being love will make u put less effort in the relationship and you will not appreciate it, (coz ive tried it)it wont lasts long !!! therefore, im trying to love !!

Hi Casey i like this your blog, this first time i saw your blog so sweet....

[amae]

imyour fan now your such a good writer...

[ClaReNce]

A sad thing about life is when you meet someone and fall in love, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be, and that you have wasted years on someone who wasn't worth it. If that person doesn't worth it now, it's not going to be worth it a year or years from now..
This is what i m thinking right now..
Don't u think so >_<..

[SerraBoY]

Unrequited Love? That sounds pretty interesting. I thought love is as simple as bringing both ends of the magnet bars close together.

[Melissa]

very nice.. i like it!

[julie]

u really hit me straight thru my heart and its really painful,body and soul,,,

[Rozelin]

Hi Casey..
this is the first time i read your blog..wow i'm your fan now..i'm agree with clarence,,a sad thing about life is when u meet someone and fall in love, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be..but human likes that, nobody perfect..only God. just be strong, its not the end of the world..

[L-]

You are so damn good in writing that this entry hit me head-on. Can I post and cite this in my blog? that is if it is OK with you =D

[maria gracia]

i dont think so..enewei..i have no idea..bout dat..but ure so good in writing...
ca i ask something wat u rader to agree "destiny or choices".?i'll wait ur response!!!thanks..

[LALAtte]

had a chance to watched Holiday on dvd. Its a story of unrequited love too...i got so deeply touched but in the end...it felt good because i get to feel there's still hope to get up and move on if what you feel will never gonna blossom into something you hope for. Thats why i remember to viewed again your writings...

[pReTeNdEr]

unrequited love??!!
i think i can relate into that..i have love many times..and i don't want to let them go even they want to..
now,,they're gone to me..but it's ok..i know that they're happy with the person who's with themat this time..
thanks for that blog..nice one..
can you please write a story about a person who fell inlove with someone whos inlove to you but already commited...
ill wait for that...thankzz..
godspeed/!!!

*smiling - can't help it! (^_^)

This is what they call a LOVE game. Where the players are tested for their strength, consistency, & loyalty. If one player don't have enough strength then obviously he/she will fail. All players, remember once you fall down there's still a way to win LOVE by either going to the other path & by trying again but this time with clear intention & vigor. Good luck!
