Unrequited Love


A mighty pain to love it is,
And 'tis a pain that pain to miss;
But of all pains, the greatest pain
It is to love, but love in vain.
From Anacreon, vii. Gold., Abraham Cowley

The world is filled with folly and sin,
And Love must cling, where it can, I say:
For Beauty is easy enough to win;
But one isn't loved every day.
Changes., Edward, Earl of Lytton Bulwer-Lytton Robert

Sweet is true love tho' given in vain, in vain;
And sweet is death who puts an end to pain.
Idylls of the King: Lancelot and Elaine. Line 1000., Alfred Tennyson Tennyson

Here is a guide for those who suffer from Unrequited Love. I for one, have looked into the 'unrequited love' subject before. Unfortunately, there has never been a lot of information on the subject. Perhaps most of the souls who are mired in the throes of unrequited love tend to kill themselves before they write stuff down. I'm just kidding. Maybe.
