Unrequited Love

What do you do after you realise that the person you have fallen in love with, and you have revealed your feelings to, is not interested in you?

How do you go back to the place where you know that you are going to meet them again and how do you behave when you have to be in the same room?

Is it not strange that a person you had never thought about, and who all of a sudden caught your attention, can hurt you so much by not feeling the same way about you?

You can not help wondering what you could have done differently to make them feel the same way about you. You can not help wondering why you fell for them when they did to fall for you at the same time. You can not help feeling that you must be at fault and that you must be the one who is not deserving of their love.

Why did I have to be the one who had the feelings and why did I have to be the weak one telling you how I felt? And why, when I had bared myself in this uncharacteristic and completely unreasonably optimistic way, did you not turn out to be as weak and hopelessly in love with me as I was with you?
