Thank you
for teaching me how to love, even without reciprocation
I no longer fear unrequited love
Thank you
for being my sunlight
by simply being yourself
Thank you
for showing your vulnerabilities and insecurities
because it reminds me you're human
Thank you
for being so adorable and innocent
that my heart breaks for you
Thank you
for teaching me that playfulness
can start friendships
Thank you
for positively influencing my life
without being aware of it
for teaching me how to love, even without reciprocation
I no longer fear unrequited love
Thank you
for being my sunlight
by simply being yourself
Thank you
for showing your vulnerabilities and insecurities
because it reminds me you're human
Thank you
for being so adorable and innocent
that my heart breaks for you
Thank you
for teaching me that playfulness
can start friendships
Thank you
for positively influencing my life
without being aware of it
A personal poem. Unrequited love used to hurt me immensely, but I'm beginning to find positives in it, too. There's something beautiful about unconditionally caring about someone --how they're feeling, being sensitive to every emotion they feel, sharing stories with them, laughter-- and not expecting anything in return. Maybe this is the closest emotion to selflessness.
