Why Don't You Go

‍

Leave Me

There is nothing in life like a love that is not reciprocated. Unrequited love, the burner of all burns. You love this person but their feelings toward you are not the same. They may have feelings for you but more of a sister or brother kind of feeling. Definitely not the feelings that are coursing through your body at the moment. 

So, what do you do about this? Do you let this person know your feelings?

I Say No

‍

Ugh, to me that would not be a good thing. What good will come of it? You’ll both feel awkward, the friendship you do have could be strained or given up on. I see no positive outcome by telling the other person your true feelings. It would be like the photo above broken beyond repair. Shattered never to be brought back together.

Maybe go another route. If your feelings are those that cannot be denied it may be time to pull up roots. If there is no future or possible glorious outcome. Who wants to be a drag? Pout around, bring everyone down with their melancholy attitude. Better to be happy and carefree. If moving is what will do it. Then moving out of their personal space is what you should do.

Telling this person how you feel may make them behave like a scared rabbit. They may run and hide. Avoid you altogether. Not be able to look you in the face. The entire dynamic of your relationship with them has forever changed. You can’t bring it back no matter how hard you try. Telling them it was just a joke won’t cut it. They will see through that false front in a quick hurry. The only recourse you have will be to tuck your tail and get the heck out of shy town. This will save you face, as well as the love of your life. The one who wants nothing to do with you anymore. 

Is It Cruel

Is this a cruel test of fate? Was this supposed to happen so you can move on and find the person who returns your feelings? Maybe so. They say there is someone for everyone out there. I’ve seen some mismatched couples, so I believe it. 

I fully believe you should put yourself out there. Don’t run and hide. Don’t be ashamed. There’s nothing wrong with the way you felt. But the heart wants what the heart wants. You cannot change that. If there is absolutely nothing coming back your way in the form of a smile, touching of hands, or a simple kiss. It’s better left by the roadside. 

Wait and See

‍

Someday your prince or princess will make an appearance. I’ve heard it happens when you least expect it. Just try and move on with your life. Start anew. New city, strangers, walk among them. Go to the library, go to the grocery store, go to ball games. Maybe the person you are looking for is in your orbit, you just haven’t seen them yet. Find something you love and do it. When you make the most out of your day, you’ll feel rewarded. Turning a corner, you may run into that one person who you can’t live without. Standing right in front of you. A shy smile, a slight nod gives it hope. A meet and greet that may wind up in a marriage. Only if that is what you want. 

Don’t sulk over the one who isn’t worth your time sulking over. Spring forward. Don’t fall back.

‍

Live and you’ll find love.
