A One-Sided Love

I have a slight experience with it. It was with my classmate in college. We were much alike. We had the same beliefs, values, and convictions. We did spend lots of time together, especially in handling of school projects and assignments. In our relation we assumed it as casual, but deep down I knew I was far from being casual.

As time went on, I couldn't pass a night without hearing the voice I love so much. I call all night notwithstanding where I am. We are still friends now, but I can't still tell whether the feelings are only on my side or whether they are on both sides and awkwardness just taking advantage of our timidity.

I met him in the train while going to Haridwar. A boy with his family got up in the train and sat just in front of my seat. At first glance I fell in love with him and his smile, especially. I'm a little shy-natured, so I didn't talk to him. It was my first fault. My cousin, brother, and sister played with him during the whole journey, but I didn't. It was the second fault I did. My brother added him on Instagram. I was fearing so much when our destination was coming near. Then finally we reached Haridwar. Our ways parted, but I thought we would meet again while returning, but we didn't. Then I started missing him a lot. After some days, I saw him in my brother's friend list. I followed him and he gave me follow back. I talked to him daily. I thought I should tell him that I love him, but finally when I told him he was already committed.

This poem reminded me of how much I fell in love with my friend from the same youth group back in college. We were really close that time that suddenly and unexpectedly my feelings towards him changed. It became love. He was there during my rainy and sunny days, and he was there to comfort me when I had my greatest downfall during college. I remembered praying for him. I prayed to God if He could possibly give him to me as an ideal man. I prayed for our friendship to have a future, to grow. But by the time he learned my feelings towards him, we got awkward to the point that we don't talk with each other like we used to anymore. We distanced ourselves. We got bitter with simple things that connected us. And having the one-sided love for him broke my heart. It caused a barrier to our friendship. But I learned a lesson and that is to guard my heart always and wait for God's will. Only God knows what His plans for us, for our friendship. It is up to Him to work with our hearts.

I'm actually going through this right now. We're not actually best friends because. He is my brother's best friend and we're 3 years apart. It's just so overwhelming thinking about him so much. To make matters even worse than liking your brothers best friend, he's also my swim coach. My best friend that I talk to about everything doesn't feel like this will end well and is encouraging me to try and move away from him, but I feel as if he is the one. It's just difficult.

I've been there. He got married, and I could not believe my eyes that day. I thought I was dreaming. They have a son now. I'm okay. You keep meeting new people, and you forget what you lost. That's the beauty of being human.

Are you still one-sided lover? Or did he understand your love?

Thank you so much for inspiring me with your awesome poems. The reality is I'm in a one-sided love, but I am totally happy because I don't expect anything from him in return.

This reminded me of a guy I fell for. We are in the same youth group. That's how I know him. We are just awkward around each other. I cannot say we are friends. He is very humble and way too kind. Meeting him has changed my attitude toward life. He is in a relationship and yet he keeps giving me impression (maybe wrong ones). He almost kissed me and always asks to speak to me in private. I try to hate him, but I can't. He is not perfect. No one is perfect, but he is a good person. Then I decided to carry on and accept that he cannot give me what I want. All I can do is wish him all the best. I guess it's true when they say sometimes you want what you can't have and sometimes people will come in your life not to stay but to teach you a lifelong lesson.

I could relate to this. I fell in love with my best friend secretly for 5 years. Unlike this poet, we are the same age.

This poem matches my life, except the part that we are not even friends. I'm 13, and the guy is 16.

It is a story about a boy named Jeremy. We both studied in the same school, but he is 2 years my senior. I've love him since the day we met, but he never proposed to me. Today is the last day we're going to see each other.
