“I was laughing at you because declarations of love amuse me, especially when unrequited.”
“Declarations of love amuse me. Especially when unrequited.”
“unrequitted love amuses me”
“Unrequited love is bad, but unrequitable love can really get you down.”
“Let us begin this letter, this prelude to an encounter, formally, as a declaration, in the old-fashioned way: I love you. You do not know me (although you have seen me, smiled at me). I know you (although not so well as I would like. I want to be there when your eyes flutter open in the morning, and you see me, and you smile. Surely this would be paradise enough?). So I do declare myself to you now, with pen set to paper. I declare it again: I love you.”
“You like someone who can’t like you back because unrequited love can be survived in a way that once-requited love cannot.”
