Have you ever had feelings for a person, then come to find out that the same person was in love with another person? It is a pain I assume most people my age have gone through. You think that your every word and every move is getting through to this person, but it never quite works out for you. We all try to get ourselves noticed by this person, but you just can't quite get there in enough time. That special person always seems to be just out of your reach. Most of the time, it kills your entire mood, even though you never had that person to begin with.

I wish I could tell you that things like this are OK or maybe you will be fine at the end of the day, but I am sorry to say that this isn't that type of article. Love hurts, and it will always continue to hurt, even when you meet that special person and you live happily ever after. Love will forever be at the top of the pain chart for most people because when you get hurt emotionally, it never seems to leave your soul. Maybe one day she will eventually notice your efforts and realize how great you are. When that day comes, never let that person go, but make sure to cherish everything about that moment, too.

Loving another person from a distance definitely takes the energy out of your life, even though you don't want to give up just in case they might want you too. This entire situation is usually like a game of chess, your whole objective is to take the king at all costs. You waste all of your pawns (time), sacrifice your rooks (strength), abandon your knights (chivalry), lose your bishops (mental capacity) and forsake your own queen (your passion). When the board clears from the fight and the only thing that stands is your king, one must consider knocking it over to forfeit or keep jumping spaces. If you continue to jump the spaces around the board you will soon realize that you are cornered, and you lose the last thing you were protecting (your love).

At the end of the day, you must think to yourself. Is this one-sided love affair really worth it?
