A love that is one-sided, malnourished, and weak.
It is felt only by one person for another that does not return the same feeling.
It is desperate, frustrating, and out-of-control. I am personally experiencing it now with a boy I am so deeply in love with. We are together, and his love for me was warm and all-encompassing a couple of months ago. Recently he revealed to me that he does not love me anymore. It feels as though I am suffering as much as if he passed. The grief is immense. He has told me that he still wants me around as his best friend. There is no light in his eyes when he says this. He is distant, detached, gone. I am neglected by his presence and his lost feelings for me. I feel absolutely lonely.
Now, I must do one of the hardest things of my life and tell the boy I love, the one I thought I would get married to and love endlessly, that my love has to end for my own sanity. I have to tell him there is no place for him in my life. A life I had always pictured with him in it. I must tell the one I love that I cannot live like this anymore.
"How can someone fall out of love with me and still want to be together?"
"That sounds like a unique case of unrequited love."
"I just cannot believe I still am so in love with him. I'd rather be in love with a stranger than in love like this."

Unrequited love is a strong admiration, ingrained deep inside, for someone who does not feel the same way about you . Those suffering with this mental torment will go on for weeks, months or even years hoping, bargaining, praying and fantasizing of the moment when their beloved will one day change their mind and reciprocate their feelings. This intense yearning and passion may cause frustration, anger, anxiety, shame and deep depression. These feelings are compounded if the sufferer was also rejected by the object of their affections. It could cause the sufferer to stay in bed for hours, call in sick for work, have anxiety attacks or even be in a cloudy haze from time-to-time. Furthermore, ...would've, should've, could've scenarios may play over-and-over again in the sufferer's mind along with scenes of desirable end-results. Over time, healing comes when the sufferer discovers how to love and truly know oneself and realizing that they are in control and ultimately responsible for their own state of mind and being. The feelings of hopelessness and loss are only temporary and are actually false. However, it may take the suffer a substantial amount of time to realize this.
We could be the most amazing couple in the world! Unfortunately, my affections for him/her were not reciprocated which lead to unrequited love. I held a greater value of the idea of a partnership than they did, and now I am left with feelings of hopelessness and yearning :-(

Love for a person who does not love you back.
Usually a close friend/past lover. You get to know that person, think they are brilliant, fall for them and can't get over them. It can affect your drive for finding a relationship.
However, if you are a sufferer of unrequited love, usually this is because you wouldn't want a partner that wasn't them. Similar to oneism.
Unrequited love can be one of the most emotionally painful experiences to go through, even worse than a break-up, because you will have never had the satisfaction of ever being with that person in a relationship.
Unrequited love is usually not linked with sexual desire, as the sufferer feels what could be considered a genuine obsession and love for the boy/girl in question.
Almost everyone on the planet will have experienced unrequited love at some point, and many will have been the subject of unrequited love.
Many sufferers of unrequited love do not tell their desired partner of their feelings due to fear of losing a friendship with that person. After all, it is better to be friends and be able to talk to them and see them than for them to block you out completely.
An anecdote from the popular Disney film Alladin helps to sum up unrequited love. Alladin can wish for all the money, power and fame in the world, but he will never be able to make Jasmine love him.
Unfortunately, the likeness stops there as Alladin and Jasmine end up together in the film. More often than not unrequited love amounts to nothing.
I love you, but you won't ever love me back.
Why don't you love me?
I'm getting depressed about you because you won't love me back.
Why do you only see me as a friend?
Unrequited love...it's a bitch

Is when a person is madly in love with someone, and the one she/he loves does not return the love. Often, the person in love tries desperately to show her love, but to no avail.
The person may feel rejection, depression, mania, or anxiety, because her love isn't returned, but it doesn't stop her from devoting all her love anyhow.
She may feel like she's going crazy!
Euphoria Godsent, wrote a song about unrequited love called, "Maybe You"ll Love Me."
The lyrics are, Why do you hate me? Always reject me. Seems like everything I do, it's never enough for you. Why do you neglect me? I feel like I'm nothing....

It's when a block of ice makes you melt.
Poet: When you give someone your whole heart and she doesn't want it, you cannot take it back. It's gone forever (ie. unrequited love sucks).
You: Holy fuck!!! Now what? It´s not even like I wanted anything!
Friend: Stick by her, if she´s worth it... One day she may get that this shit is for free.
You: Cool! I´ll try that...
