Unrequited Love

I see, without being seen; that is why I saw.

Saw you that day,


I watch, without being watched; that is how I watched.

Watched you, all there was to watch of you,


I listen, without being heard; that is why I heard.

Heard you all those times,


I learnt, without being learned; that is how I learnt.

Learnt you, all there was to learn about you,


I know, without being known; that is why I knew

Knew all of what I felt for you,


I love without being loved; thats how I loved
loved you, all of you,

I LOVE YOU.


But I will no longer be expected of, without being expected for,



That is why I write you now, this poem of my unrequited love in hope unrequited it no longer shall be.
