Falling For Someone Who Doesnt Love You

Today it occured to me that there might be people in this world who have never known unrequited love, have never fallen for someone who didnt fall too.
I know its rarer than a solar eclipse, but it seems likely that some have managed it, who married their high school sweetheart, who got it right on the first try and many more.
I, however fell for someone who had no idea of my existence. I fell for someone who didnt know love. That was my lifes absolute mistake. I cant rewind.
This has got to be more then a crush, more then just a fleeting attraction. Thinking they look cute and attractive, or letting your imagination momentarily wander when they touch your skin isnt enough. I loved him with every fiber of my being.
The agony , the obsession, is way too consuming. Nothing hurts quite as exquisitely as loving someone who doesnt love you back. Perhaps you think im crazy for suggesting anyone let themselves fall into this pit of despair, that im an emotional sadist of the worst variety. But dear readers, i assure you im not.
It could be the third nght you cry yourself to sleep, the fifth time they cancel plans with you, or the eigth night in a row you spend getting drunk alone. To me, it had been months but the ache is still there.
Getting over unrequited love feels like having a blindfold removed. you will be humbled, you will be grateful, you will be wiser. Thats what ive learnt.
