Unrequitedlove Stories

I heard his laugh before I saw her, and I already knew - that loose, unguarded version of it, the one I'd never once heard him aim at me. I found him with my eyes and there he was, all six feet six of him tilted toward Cathie like she was the only thing in the room worth standing near, his sharp eyes tracking her face with an attention I had spent three years quietly starving for. Something in my chest didn't break. It just went still. I set his coffee down on the bench - oat milk, no sugar, memorized without him ever asking - and walked away.

She liked him. Quietly....deeply...in the kind of way that never asked to be seen. But he never saw her. Not as a crush. Not as a friend. Not even as someone worth understanding. He wasn't cruel. He wasn't confused. He just... never chose her. And still, she stayed. At first, it was small-just a fleeting feeling. But with time, it grew into something consuming... something that lived in every glance she stole, every message she waited for, every silence he left behind. She fell first. And then she fell harder. Until loving him became a habit she didn't know how to stop. Until one day- she did. Not all at once. Not in a dramatic goodbye. But slowly... piece by piece... she took her heart back. Or at least, that's what it looked like. Because now- she doesn't react. She doesn't wait. She doesn't care. Or maybe... she just pretends she doesn't. To him, she was just someone annoying. Someone easy to ignore. Someone who never mattered. But fate has a way of returning what was once overlooked. Because when they meet again- when her eyes no longer search for him- He notices. He pauses. He wonders. He feels. And this time... he falls. Harder than she ever did. Not slowly. Not carefully. But in the kind of way that ruins sleep and steals breath. While she- just watches, as if she feels nothing at all. 🏆 Ranked #1 in Crush 🏆 Ranked #1 in OneSidedLove 🏆 Ranked #1 in Reunion ~ a story that started with silence... and stayed. ❤️

Priya Sharma is twenty years old, four months into a life in Seoul that looks exactly like the one she planned, and very good at not thinking about the things she left unfinished in Mumbai. Then her grandmother dies. She comes home. She goes to a graveyard. She finds a girl crying over a grave. She reads the name on the stone. And something in her chest does a thing she doesn't have words for yet. Then the girl's phone rings and the voice on the other end makes Priya's whole body go still. Because she knows that voice. She knows it at two in the morning and at noon on a Sunday and through a phone pressed to her ear while the city moved past outside. She knows what it sounds like when it's laughing at itself for caring too much about something small. She knows what it sounds like when it's saying her name in a way that isn't neutral. She knows that voice. So why is it coming from a dead man's sister's phone?

Kriti has always known how to survive. She learned it in quiet rooms where no one had time to notice tears. She learned it in classrooms where she felt smaller than everyone else. She learned it in silence. Then she found something she never thought she would have. A home. A family. And a person who felt like safety. Dhruv was never loud in her life. He was simply there. Steady. Certain. Unshakable. Years later, she still has everything she once prayed for. A successful career. A house filled with familiar voices. But some silences grow heavier with time. Some names linger in the spaces between heartbeats. And sometimes love is not loud or dramatic. Sometimes it is quiet. Patient. Waiting. Waiting to be chosen. Waiting to be understood. Waiting to be returned. In a life that once felt borrowed, Kriti must face a question she never thought she would ask: How long can you hold on to something... before you realize you were the only one holding? -Rosie ❤️‍🔥

Some souls are not made of sunlight - they are carved from autumn's melancholy, dressed in gold that learned to fall before it ever learned to fly. Sarthak Singh Rajput is one of them. At seventeen, he moves through the corridors of his eleventh-grade classes like a fading October afternoon: quiet, distant, and perpetually bracing for the cold. Inside his own home, a toxic family has drained the color from his world. He doesn't hope for spring. He doesn't even remember what it feels like to bloom. And then, without warning, spring arrives. Her name is Khanak Prajapati. She is not loud, but she is undeniable. The first time she sees Sarthak, something in her chest whispers a premonition. A strange, certain knowing that she is going to fall for him. It is love at first sight. As Khanak gently steps into his life, she becomes the thaw after his long frost. But can her spring undo years of damage? Or is Sarthak too rooted in his own OCTOBER to let her in? TU MERI BAAHON MEIN DUNIYA BHULA DE - A Tale of Premonition of Love is a tender, aching school love story about the quiet war between what breaks us and who saves us. It asks: What happens when a girl who loves at first sight meets a boy who has never received love.

Christmas came early, and so I thought. A longing so intense, feelings so surreal, only to be wiped clean by the horror of HER very actions. The very gift of love that I expected to find became a lesson to understand. I wrote a string of these back in December. Here is a compilation of poems that explore the themes of admiration, regret, fervent longing, and the extremes of unrequited love. My love for her, a bane or a boon?

She writes about people who never stay. About first glances, almost loves, unanswered feelings, and the quiet loneliness of growing up. For years, she has turned her heart into poetry-writing about everyone she has loved, everyone she has missed, and every version of herself she has left behind. But while she spent her life writing about others, nobody ever wrote about her. "The Writer Who's Never Been Written" is a collection of poems about being unseen, loving too deeply, outgrowing old versions of yourself, and finding comfort in words when people fail to understand them. For the quiet girls. For the hopeless romantics. For the ones who feel everything. Maybe you'll find a piece of yourself here too.

Seven days. That was all it took. A lonely young man arrived expecting an ordinary week, carrying insecurities, dreams, and questions he could not yet answer. Then he met a girl with ocean eyes. What began as a simple conversation slowly became something far deeper-a journey through first love, admiration, hope, heartbreak, regret, and the painful beauty of growing up. But this is not a story about getting the girl. It is a story about learning what it means to care for someone so deeply that their happiness matters more than your own. A story about wanting to save someone who never needed saving. A story about holding on, letting go, and discovering who you are in the process. Inspired by real emotions and unforgettable memories. The Girl With Ocean Eyes is a coming-of-age journey about love, loss, acceptance, and the people who change our lives forever. Sometimes the people who leave the deepest marks on our hearts stay for only a few days. Yet their memory remains for a lifetime.

In the quiet rhythm of office life, Nayla finds herself drawn to someone she can never truly have. At 26, her heart races in silence for Hana-her senior, her colleague, her quiet anchor. Hana, at 40, carries herself with grace and calm, unaware of how deeply her presence lingers in Nayla's days. Between them, there are only small exchanges-brief smiles, light conversations, the kind of moments that seem ordinary to others but mean everything to Nayla. This is not a story of love confessed or answered. It is the tender journey of unrequited love-where admiration becomes both a comfort and a burden, and where the heart learns to carry what words cannot.
