One Sided Love

Have you ever been in a one sided love ? I’m sure most people have experienced this intense emotion and it certainly feels bad when we get rejected. People usually say “You just need some time and you will move on to a new person” but for me it feels like the love never stopped despite not talking to the person at all for the past 5 years.

I realized that I was still in this one sided love when I met her in person 2–3 years ago. My mind blanked out, my heart skipped a beat and I forgot to breathe. It might sound exaggerated but I am not exaggerating at all. I’m sure some of you will be able to relate to this although there might not be many left in our current generation.

This was what it felt like when I stopped talking to her after getting rejected. I never felt angry but the amount of sadness and disappointment was something I didn’t want to ever feel again. From then onwards I could never like someone else truly and I am still struggling to allow myself to open up to new relationships. Whenever I feel that I am getting too close to a girl, I would distance myself so that I wouldn’t have to experience the same emotions again.

I hope that she is living her life to the fullest and be in a healthy relationship with her partner. She is someone that I can never forget. To anyone reading this, I hope that you are able to find someone that you truly love and someone who truly loves you. Thanks for reading !
