"Unrequited Love Song"

Greg Budig 2020

To fall in love is 

so easy to do 

To be in love is 

something more.

Unrequited love is 

so wasteful, but it's 

something we all endure. 

To fall in love is 

so hopeful. 

To be in love is 

sublime.

Unrequited love is 

emptiness, a persistent 

loss of time. 

In youthfulness 

we wander.

Adrift in a 

romantic pool. 

Searching for any 

port in the storm. 

You end up being a fool. 

You see her at 

the local joints, the 

conversation of the town. 

She sees you from 

across the room, 

and then she quickly 

turns around. 

It's dangerous 

to get seduced by 

someone you don't need. 

Don't chase the 

unattainable,

they'll only laugh 

and watch you bleed.

To fall in love is 

everyone's dream. 

To be in love is 

a dream to realize. 

Unrequited love is 

a dated pop song. 

Unrequited love is all lies.
