"Do you know how painful it is to know that I am in love with you and you don't love me back? Do you know how frustrating it is to know that if I were beautiful, you would date me? Do you know how terrifying it is to know that there's a chance I might never stop loving you? Do you know how awful it is to know that you occupy my daily thoughts, yet I have never occurred in yours? Do you know how agonising it is to know that I've cried rivers over you, and you'd only shed a tear over me if I died? Do you know how unbearable it is to know that you are everything that matters to me, but you don't care for me at all?
Do you know how horrible it is to be in love and want nothing more than to not be in love?

Maybe you know.
I hope you don't."
