Far too many times we fall in love with someone who doesn't love us back. And as much as you love & care for them, there is nothing you can do to change the way they feel. There is no greater hurt then the one of rejection. You put your heart and soul on the line only to have it torn apart. It is a hurt that only time can heal.

I was put in this exact situation a little less then 2 years ago and the pain has still not completely vanished. I loved this person more than words could ever explain. He was the world to me, there was nothing I wouldn't have done for him. And even though he's been gone quite a long time, my heart still hurts when I see him. And writing about my hurt is the one way I can truly express my feelings.

I only hope that this poem can try to ease your pain, if something like this has happened to you. And one piece of advice I give to those who are hurting from rejection as I am, never give up hope. Hope is the key to everything. As long as you have faith in yourself, everything will turn out ok in the end. That I can promise you.
