Unrequited Love

For you, I feel a deep and amorous affection 
From you, I am overlooked and irrelevant;
For you, I desire a loving relationship 
From you, I feel rejection. 

I wish you acknowledged me whenever I’m around
I wish my presence would make you joyfully aware;
When you don’t reciprocate my salutations,
I begin to feel despair. 

There’s an aura about you that to me is absolute perfection 
For you, I have a great admiration;
Anytime I can be near you,
It gives me sensations of euphoria and elation. 

For you, I have such a romantic longing 
I want to be the love of your life;
I know you could make me feel adored
I know you could give me a feeling of belonging. 

I wish I existed in your life 
As you do in mine; 
To have you by my side
Would be absolutely wonderful and divine. 

I wish you had the same sentiments for me as I have for you
We could take this unrequited love and make it a genuine love between us…
Oh, how I wish you desired that too.
