What Does Unrequited Love Mean Novels & Stories

The most painful thing in the world is probably loving someone who doesn’t feel the same way. Unrequited love is painful yet blissful at the same time. Painful because it’s heartbreak without all the beginning and the middle. Only the end. Blissful because it’s without all the drama.

Dare relaxed immediately into the Lion's embrace, closing his eyes. "I suppose I can never truly understand it since I have always found it a hopeless love when one's love is unrequited," He muttered. "Why give love when it may never be returned? We can not force love to be returned to us even if we give it. That love which is unrequited is hopeless, wouldn't you agree, cousin?" He asked, pulling away from their hug and facing Leon who had a gloomy expression on his face. If only Dare understood how personal his words hit, how painful they feel, knowing that his love for him may never be returned.

That kind of mood was bitter, sweet, and sour, only he knows his feelings. Of course, love was not a poem. It didn’t need to be gorgeous and complicated. When it first came, it was already stunning. When you fell in love with someone, you must learn to bear the uneasiness brought by loneliness. Love was a person’s business. No law stated that if you loved him, he must love you back. Love had nothing to do with kindness, compassion, or charity. If you were in love, you could stay with him. If he didn’t love you, you could end this unrequited love. However, few people were that free and easy.

She stared into his brown eyes. Unrequited love is the worst. It never quenches your thirst. When you love someone the most, but they treat you like a ghost. You don't exist to them, even if they're your gem. It hurts your heart and tears you apart. Your soul gives a desperate plea, for them to just see, that you're right in front of their eyes. Only once it's too late, they realize. It's like a stab to the chest, leaving you in a state of unrest.

A single tear rolled down to my cheek and I couldn’t stop myself from hugging Tristan. I couldn’t find the words to express my astonishment. I don’t know how to respond to what he said. This is the first time and Tristan was the only person who appreciated me before the twins came into my life, yet I can’t reciprocate the love he gives to me–to my twins and me. I know the feeling that love is unrequited. I have suffered this situation all my life. So, even if Tristan doesn’t tell me how he feels about my repeated rejection of his love, I know the feeling.

Matthew added and Sapphire just stared at him, keeping her mouth shut, partly because she didn’t know what to say to the man and partly because she felt like he still had a lot to say. “Maybe it is because I saw it coming that I was able to ease the feelings away but I think that has a whole lot of nothing to do with it. I saw the rejection coming the day I realized my feelings for you ten years ago but I still held on desperately, leeching off you, and I am supposed to be the man here, a woman isn’t even as pathetic as this,” he told her, the smile still on her face. “I couldn’t accept the fact, I didn’t think of your own feelings too. It doesn’t fade away in just a day but it becomes so da

It made her feel like she was some kind of villain. Like she was this person who was out there making people fall in love with her when she would not be able to love them back. She had never really received unrequited love in her life, but she had read about it. She had listened to songs about it as well, but she had never really experienced it, honestly. “Axiel…” She said with a soft and quiet voice as she locked eyes with him. “I…”

It was a long loud sigh which said everything even without a word. “I never forgot the promise I made to you. I will never stop looking out for you. You are more precious to me than anyone else,” he pledged to her. Unrequited love was sometimes almost impossible to live with. It made one insecure and powerless around the other party. And it was so not fair! “Oh, Adam. That’s sweet of you,” she said sniffing and her eyes looked suspiciously bright. What the hell? She was crying? Over such an insignificant thing? There was definitely a radical change in her over the past two years.

Making him doubt himself if he is that easy to be read by someone that is Nadia. “Why?” One word and Nadia in a now drunken state grabs his face, pulled him a bit close to her, and with a sorry expression said to him. “Unrequited love.” Nadia started that Jun instantly had a hunch about where this is all going. “I do not want to say this to you, but I am thinking a lot that you need to know.” “Alright, just what it is?” Jun gives up for the second time, letting Nadia whine for a bit.

“The relationship has barely began and here you are talking about children and grandchildren.” “Sorry about that. I got a tad bit too excited. None of us has had love for a very long time. It’s nice that you finally have someone.” Rose smiled as she apologized. This was the reason why she was so excited. The three sisters had stayed with Ashera most of their lives. And none of them had actually experienced love before. So it was a cause for joyous celebration that one of them had found someone she loved. And even more joyous was that this person felt the same way about her as well. For unrequited love was more painful than never experiencing love in the first place.
