It Doesn'T Take 2 To Love

She loves him.
He loves her.
That is the ideal story of love.
But love is love even if its not returned.
She loves him.
He deplores her.
Is it still love?
Her heart weeps because she was rejected.
She cared for him.
She wanted him.
She had daydreams about him.
She could imagine the two of them happy as a couple.
He would hold her gently 
She would cuddle with him.
They would laugh together.
He would be there when she was angry or sad.
She had so many thoughts.
She looked forward to seeing him when she could.
She looked forward to the chance of talking to him.
She really liked him.
She was in love.
Her heart would race at the very sight of him.
Yet whenever he saw her he would often cringe.
He did not return the feelings.
Eventually he had to tell her.
He didn't love her.
He didn't even care about her.
He was annoyed by her presence.
Is it still love?
Even if its just a one way street?
It doesn't take two to love.
But it certainly hurts when one doesn't return the feelings.
