Unrequited Love

Pains of love be sweeter far

Than any other pleasures are.

Love is sometimes denied,

Sometimes lost,

Sometimes unrecognized,

But in the end,

Always found with no regrets,

Forever valued and kept treasured.

The most painful love there is,

Is the love left unshown,

A love that cannot be expressed,

Affection left unknown,

The love that withholds touching,

Afraid of what it would say,

And the most painful thing about unexpressed love is…

It never fades away.

Love does not die easily.

It is a living thing,

It thrives in the face of all life’s hazards,

Save one-neglect.

What we have once enjoyed,

We can never lose.

All that we lose deeply becomes a part of us.

What is life,

When wanting love?

Night without a morning:

Love’s the cloudless summer sun,

Nature gay adorning.

Women still remember the first kiss,

After men have forgotten the last.

A man snatches the first kiss,

Pleads for the second, demands the third,

Takes the fourth, accepts the fifth,

And endures all the rest.

Kisses kisses kept are wasted;

Love is to be tasted.

There are some you love, I know;

Be not loathe to tell them so.

Lips go dry and eyes grow wet,

Waiting to be warmly met.

Keep them not waiting yet;

Kisses kept are wasted.

These are some quotes that I found that I really liked. So what I did was that I put the quotes all together to make them into one big poem.
