unrequited

44

you know how sometimes you really like someone, but you're too scared to tell them? so you just keep your feelings bottled up inside. some people try to tell the person they like how they feel, but it doesn't always work out. they might get rejected, or maybe they just chicken out at the last minute.

but even if they don't say it out loud, they might still write down their feelings in a poem. it's like a secret message, showing how much they care. it's full of their heart beating fast, all the things they wish they could say, but are too shy to speak.

they imagine a future with the person they like, sharing promises and sweet moments, laughing together. but sometimes, life gets in the way and things don't go as planned. they might be left with unsaid words and a love that feels unfulfilled.

the poem becomes like a silent witness to their feelings, a way to express their love even if they can't say it face-to-face. each line whispers their longing, their hopes, and their fears. it's a love that couldn't bloom, stuck in a secret garden.

they pour their heart out in the poem, sharing their dreams and their anxieties. it shows their courage, even if they never got to confess their love directly.

so, even if the poem is just for them, it's still a powerful thing. it lets their feelings out, even if they can't say them aloud. it's a love that will live on, even if it's hidden in the words on the page.
