The love that lasts the longest is the love that is never returned.

~ William Somerset Maugham
Have you ever fallen so hard for someone that it hurt? It hurts you so much that you sometimes feel that enduring physical pain is better than having to feel the void in your chest. The empty void is so vast that it never seems to get filled, you keep hoping for that person to come back to you.

No matter how happy you seem to be outside, inside you feel like you're being torn apart by hungry wolves. You just cannot help but think about how your hands would look intertwined and how it would feel to feel their arms around you and about how blissful it would be if you kissed. Thinking about them makes you strong and happy but it also for some unknown reason will crush down all your walls of defences and leave you wanting to curl on the floor and cry yourself to sleep.

The hurt is unbearable and doesn't let you sleep at night it leaves you overthinking and regretting. It makes you wonder if you weren't good enough for that person or if you ever will be good enough for anyone. The worst part of it all is hiding it from every one fearing judgement by them. This fear just makes things worse than they already are. You will have to open up to someone you trust and pour out what you actually feel. You will have to remove your mask and let yourself heal under this person's love, guidance and comfort.

This whole thing is a very bittersweet experience and something that will teach you a lot of things. It's a very weird and common feeling, its hard to get out of if you're deep in it. It isn't impossible to get this feeling out of you, you just have to concentrate on better things that life has to offer. This is the kind of experience that will break you down and then build you up in an entirely different way which can either be good or bad, a typical phoenix out of its ashes situation. You have to know that you are strong and can bear more than just heartbreak. You are important and precious and deserved to be loved. Your love is more than worth its weight in gold. You are a beautiful, fiery phoenix and you are worth everything. Stay wild moonchild and don't forget who you are over something as silly as unrequited love.
