Love...
What's so bad about unrequited love?
I mean, seriously? Love is love. Love is a personal thing. Love is entirely within yourself. If you love someone, you love them. Whether the feeling is mutual or not, nothing can take your love away from you. Nothing.
I think maybe it was said best in Adaptation:
"You are what you love, not who loves you"
And so, again I ask, what's so bad about loving someone who doesn't love you back? At least you get to experience love. Lots of people never even make it that far. You get to experience an emotion that's incredibly rare, something that doesn't come everyday, and if it's not returned, it's someone else's loss as much as it is yours.
I mean, sure, it can be painful love someone you can't be with. I've cried for that very reason before. And yet I know, at least on some level, I enjoyed it. It was a good kind of crying, the kind of thing where even though it's painful, it's a good emotional release. To know that I can care so much about someone that thinking about being without them makes me cry is a good feeling, in some odd way.
Some say it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. And while I agree, I'd take it a step further. When you've loved, you never truly lose, unless you choose to. Love is yours. It can't be taken away unless you decide to let it go.
