My love is unrequited

We met in a study group, her intelligence shining bright

Her beauty captured my heart, like a star in the night

I couldn't help but be drawn to her, spending time together

Sharing stories and laughter, feeling like forever

But for her, I was just a friend

Never knowing my love would never end

She said she had fallen for another man

Leaving me heartbroken, trying to understand

I tried to hide my feelings, keep them locked away

But seeing her with him, it's like a knife in my chest, every day

I thought maybe she would see, the love I had for her

But she chose someone else, leaving me to endure

But for her, I was just a friend

Never knowing my love would never end

She said she had fallen for another man

Leaving me heartbroken, trying to understand

I'll always cherish the moments we shared

Even though my heart is broken and bared

I'll move on, but a piece of me will always be

With the girl who never knew, how much she meant to me

But for her, I was just a friend

Never knowing my love would never end

She said she had fallen for another man

Leaving me heartbroken, trying to understand

I'll always remember the love I had for her

Even though it wasn't returned, my heart still stirs

I'll find someone who sees me for who I am

But for now, I'll hold onto the memories, of the girl who didn't understand.
