Literally one of the most powerful love songs ever written. An incredible song sung by an incredible artist, beautifully accompanied by Bruce Hornsby. Even the great George Michael's version is second to this.
@@justtony21It happens to men & women alike, and if it's cheating, it's NEVER okay. I'm sorry you've been hurt, I have too - don't let it ever stop you from loving again though. The woman that hurt you doesn't deserve to control your emotions or your future. ❤
This song gave me the strength to walk away from 50 years of wasted time, lies, physical, verbal abuse and years of cheating. At 70 I am finally free or all of the above. And am living my life
This song reminds me of my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost battling cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, life could be so unfair most times, but sometimes I wonder why bad things always happen to good people
I am 28 and heartbroken to the core. Like you say, sometimes there's no one to blame, and I have only love for her. It's very moving how a song brings together all kinds of people with their unique stories. We're all human after all
A beautiful song , not much of a Bonnie Raitt fan but her voice is therapy for a lonely 62 year old male who has high blood pressure and hates his job . Very tired thank you any one who reads this.
Will, I'm a huge classic rock fan Pink Floyd Deep Purple Uriah Heep King Crimson Moody Blues Led Zeppelin my absolute favourites. But I do love Bonnie Raitt. And she can play slide guitar. What an extremely talented lady Bonnie is
Wil God bless u brother if u lived in Macon ga we would all rally around you at my church God helps with all our struggles and my mother in law is single lol.
It's a terrible feeling to wake up and realize that you've been loving someone who never loved you or cared for you the same way you loved them and it's true you can't make the heart feel something that's not there. you can give your all but if it is not reciprocated dry your eyes, swallow your hurt, and move on because you deserve better. spoken from the heart that you need to protect.
Things will get better for you I promise. U said loveless at least you know that. A lot of people don't have that awareness. I pray you get every blessing that you pray for 💜❤️
The worst hurt is when someone awakens your love with no intention of loving you back and then leaves without no explanation; just cut you off like you never meant anything to them.
Too many times in my life have I had this song on repeat for hours, days, months. Here I am again, after 17 years. My soul is crushed. Thank you, Bonnie, for giving voice to such pain.
I'm one of the people that put this song on repeat and curled up into a ball after my breakup and there were tears, lots of them. I still think this is one of the best songs that speaks of unrequited love or love lost. 2024
I know went through a situation like this just before I met my husband. I want to encourage anyone who is going through this situation to be strong and know that you are special, beautiful, and worthy of love. You don't have to convince or beg anyone to love you. Sometimes it takes us a while to realize this for ourselves, but I can testify that after I became strong enough to let the person go who was not returning the love that I was giving the healing process began. It was rough, many crying nights...I liken it to withdrawal and while I thought I'd be alone for ever (because as we know rejection does a beat down on your self-esteem) I met my husband and he showed me what it was to be loved as you are without trying to work like a slave for it. If I can have it so can anyone else. Peace & Blessing xoxo
This is the first time in five years I have listened to this song. The last time I did was the night I decided I couldn’t keep denying how hurt and lonely I was in my 32 year marriage. Shortly afterwards my world burned to the ground. The papers were signed, and I physically moved 1,000 miles away. One of the worst things to happen to me, yet one of the best. There is no kind of lonely, that I have experienced in my 61 years, that is as lonely as lying next to someone who doesn’t love you back.
Thanks for confirming that. As watched him play I thought of his other work and how similar it all was to this tune. Great choice to have on the piano!
Another good 1 take story. Check out the sone aja by steely dan. Story goes, steve gad (drummer on track) was out w friends partying. They ran out of cash, so they said, hey steve, go lay down a trak somewhere. He did it in 1 take, got paid cash, and they kept partying. Lol. Amazing sight read. Amazing trak.
This is the saddest, most heartbreaking song ever recorded. A true masterpiece of emotions. Great artists like Adele and Prince have covered this song, but Bonnie's original is untouchable.
PREACH THE TRUTH❣ EXACTLY HOW I LOOK AT IT.. ONLY BONNIE RAITT THE ORGINAL VOCALIST OF THIS SONG CAN DO IT JUSTICE... PLENTY HAVE TRIED, AND DONE WELL BUT CAN'T QUITE CUT IT! I FEEL SO MUCH EMOTIONS WHEN SHE SING😭
I heard a girl in rehab sing this acapella our last night in front of the entire facility after realizing and accepting her long term relationship was over and she was accepting it. One of the most beautiful and painful moments I’ve ever experienced in a group setting. An absolutely perfect song on every level. ❤
I would have given her a hug and thanked her for the song. Then wished her luck. I meant all that in a good way. Now adays you have to be careful. I hope you are doing good too.
I don't think that there is a greater pain in life than loving someone that doesn't love you. We think it's us or if we just love them enough that they'll love us back. The bottom line is that you can't make someone love you if they don't.
@ Anthony Broaddus Yes it is sir.😂😂😂 Not many songs can make a strong, tough, prideful woman like myself cry either but this one does, but it happens to the best of us
I am an old sailor. It is good to have something makes you cry. I think it shows you are human. No need to cry for others though. People have to earn my tears.
I'll never forget this song. I was leaving Amy's house late on a Sunday night. I knew it was over. I did my best to make it work. As I drove off onto Pellissippi Parkway this song came. I cried those sad tears.
+Steve Cappiello I am from K-town as well and live close to there now! I have been there too man, I feel your pain. There is someone out there for you that it will work with.... just gotta find em.
So sad to think this is a real situation for many people. Makes me feel so lucky to have been with the love of my life for 55 years. I thank the Lord for her every day. ❤
57 year old big biker type. Song still brings a tear. Living one of the greatest love affairs ever 22+ years married. Feel so so sad for those who don’t find their true love. My wife and I’s love could move a mountain.
I'm not talking about your relationship but the sad part about this song is the fact that one partner can have the same exact thought as you do and the other is ready to leave.
When I was 5, I remember watching my mom sing this song. At the time, my dad was doing drugs and mentally and physically beating her. She used alcohol to escape a lot and dealt with a lot of stuff for me and my sister. Randomly yesterday I heard this song for the first time in 25 years and I was balling my eyes out. I felt all of her pain and suffering and had me on my knees. It takes a lot for me to cry but this song hit so close to home and now im calling my mom to tell her about it.
I witnessed my dad do the same to my mom. But he also sexually abused her after drugging her and her falling asleep. I was 6 when I saw him do that to her. He destroyed her, beat his first wife, and did the same to his own daughters and his sisters. Thank the Lord he is in prison until 2035 now. He can't hurt no more women and children. She doesn't have anything to do with us oldest 2 daughters and none of her 5 biological grandkids. Only the youngest sister that barely remembers much of him. It's hard to say you witnessed your dad destroy your mother and she will never be the women she was before him. Here I am today finally married trying to break the bad family cycles I witnessed or that was done to me growing up. Raising my kids with my husband but have no biological grandparents to healthy be there for them. Sorry you witnessed rough stuff Dylan. I hope you decided to break the cycles to instead of repeating what you witnessed. Hope things get better for you guys.
Did you know that Bonnie recorded this song in one take? She didn't think she could get the raw emotion more than once. Somehow that makes this song even more powerful than it already is.
That’s not really correct-although the reason it wasn’t in one take is even more heartbreaking… producer Don Was said that there were a couple times when Bonnie broke down crying. The song struck such raw emotion in her that Don had to do a few lines over. Note that Hornsby was the piano player on this flawless song, I’m sure most people know that. Greatness all around.
Yep, Bonnie’s best, I got to know her a bit when I was part of sponsorship team on that tour. Fabulous person. I’ve seen her perform over 10x live, still gives me goosebumps.
This song has an important message for anyone going through a heavy breakup: No matter how much you try, sometimes, the other person doesn't WANT it to work out, in the end. You can try to change their mind and try to fix their heart, but sometimes, it's best to let go.
That's EXACTLY what I had to several times...im be sooo single till the ONE that's worth my tears comes along...and I will feel it in my heart....I just know it..inshaAllah it will happen for me...This world is a lonely place without that special someone...but if you LOVE yourself enough...You can fall in love over and over again..that's how you will know when the right comes along..cus u will give up the fight. .namean.. nuff said.
@@lisaking9854 Yes, and how many of us have experienced circumstances that are similar to the message in the song? Many, I am sure, which causes us to strongly identify personally, with that message.
Bonnie Raitt is one of the most amazingly talented singer songwriters I have ever heard. A singer called Julia Fordham introduced me to Bonnie Raitt. So glad that she did.
Well said. She is such a true artist and absolutely wrote this beautiful song, you can hear it in every single way she belts out this painfully sad story..
@@alexgibbons2188 She didn't write this song. It was written by two Nashville musicians and recording artists. Mike Reid and Alan Shamblin in 1991 wrote this and it was added to Reid's debut album "Walk on Faith" in 1992.
My heart is in this song after 28 years of marriage he left. But God has delivered me from that heart ache, thank you Bonnie for singing what we are feeling.
In memory of Ed Cherney, the recording engineer who had recorded this song and many other great records. Ed died peacefully last night, October 21, 2019. RIP, Eddie. We'll be missing you.
Those emotions you showed me tonight I will never forget....you hurt me not only with your words but the raw emotions and feelings towards her i saw in your eyes😢 don't love me...😢
Bonnie's version is the standard, period. It's grown people music, not young love and giddy romance. It's about real life, lived over time. It's about the resignation, the struggle towards acceptance, the love in spite of the loss, it's the void AFTER the anger, the rage, the hurt and betrayal are over. It's about moving on with integrity in spite of the scars. It's the 62-year-old lady finally leaving her once whirlwind/long since bad 40-year marriage after decades of abuse, it's the 53-year-old mom of college aged kids who finds out her husband's been cheating on her with a woman half her age and has spent the past 2 years fighting out and now finalizing her messy divorce with a man she still loves but knows that it's over with. It's about LIVED experience, about the subtleties and contradictions and complexities of ending life-changing, decades long relationships and the quiet aftermath once the dust has started to settle. Bonnie doesn't try to oversing, overemote, over share. Her character knows what she's been through and has nothing to prove to anyone. She's just saying goodbye, with love and affection for what once was and is proudly moving forward with the rest of her life, scarred and weary but with gentle hope in what might still be ahead for her. She's saying in spite of the pain, life still moves on, so one should do it with dignity and grace.
I couldn’t make him love me after 16 years...siting here with a broken heart and spirit packing my belongings. I know the road ahead me will be rough. But my children and I will make it❤️
Hon you dont have to be worried, your future is bright and that of your kids, God guide you through this journey. Ourdreamsandhope@gmail.com i would love for you to write me on my email, would love to talk to you.
Hang in there. Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes we think someone is the final destination, when they're really just a brief, and sometimes unpleasant, step along the path. Better things will come.
Better things ahead for you and your kids, keep your face to the sun! There is a higher love waiting for you, but first you must learn to love yourself. You deserve the best.
@@judibulanowski5368 you should hear Teddy Swims do this song I believe he does it well or even better and I love the way she does it. Look up Teddy Swims and this song you wouldn't believe it.
"It doesn't take a lot of strength to hang on. It takes a lot of strength to let go." ~ J.C. Watts When you're still in love but realize your love will never be reciprocated... It is MUCH MORE DIFFICULT to leave/set that person free than it is to feign blissful ignorance & stay put bc the change will be (temporarily) painful. OF. COURSE it's easy to leave when you don't GAF or aren't truly in love. But that is NOT what this song is about. She's in love but is setting him free bc she understands she cannot change his feelings about her. Why KNOWINGLY live a lie? We aren't immortal!
@@devinjessicaharris5632 No one said letting go doesn't sometimes hurt like hell. But it's necessary for us to grow, move forward and be emotionally healthy.
hang tough Jan...things can get brutal...it took me a long time to find my love..their is someone out there looking for you...peace...have a sweet night hon..
Never thought I'd find another after my husband of 42 years passed until someone came along awakening in me feelings I thought were dead and gone!! So here I am at 70 yrs.old, crying my eyes out after he lifted me so high and then pulled the rug out! Devastating!!!
This song reminds me of my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never missed a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there is some pain I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes but some times I wonder why bad thing always happen to good people..,
I was a child when this song came out and never appreciated its power until I had grown older and experienced unrequited love towards the end of a long term relationship. Your heart literally aches, you can't breathe, eat or sleep, your stomach is in a knot. Emotional hurt is incredibly painful. I'm not surprised people can literally die of a broken heart. This song brings me to my knees every time.
It's certainly a powerful song, and I Agree with your description of unrequited love....and at the same time, we can switch off to move on which is not the easiest route, but possible!
Sometimes it's really hard.... when you then have to deal with the using..abusing. and tge discarding.. after you gave 6 years of caring.. and loving... working on that anger part.. much luv to all of you going through it :)
When loving someone with all your heart and soul hurts when the love isn't shown in return, I think this song was made for anyone who poured all their love into that one person only to find out they never loved you
@@hollydavis2261 praying that time has healed your heart and soul, use what has happened as a lesson well learned. Love yourself more than that 1 person
The hardest thing to do is accepting that you love someone that doesn't love you in return the same. Letting go of a person who became a part of you is like killing off a part of yourself I hope one day to let that person go and be able to feel loved by someone who loves me as much as I do them. Time just isn't on my side lately I really connect with this song on that level
The hardest thing to do is to walk away from someone you love so much, and in return they don't stop you. I gave her my heart and soul. I feel every part of this song. Some day you will find love again.
When you found that person that you always dreamed of and.her beauty was far beyond you ever could imagine. And she was actually yours for years you where the envy of all men and you where so dreamed strucked for eight years and the physical connection was amazingly beyond pleasurable exhaustion.That one you had to dpend the rest of your life with or you would die.To that point of hamacidal or suicidal would be your ONLY alternative if that person left uou how could I ever be funcional again then after you thought you guys where unseperable the worst fear thst could ever happen does how do you move on ? Blinding love ?😣
Until you made the comment it never occurred to me that this song was about one person not appreciating the other. I always thought it was about two people who knew exactly what they were doing and one of them was willing to make the sacrifice to get what they wanted because one of them believe that having that one pearl of great price one time in your life was worth the grief of a lifetime. The way she sang the song it just always seemed to me that both knew exactly the deal they were making and we're okay with it as evidenced by the fact that they went through with the deal. It's a tribute to the song and the way was performed that we can come away with different opinion and still love the song
Bonnie, do you realize how much this song resonates with so many hearts who know they must give up the fight? I've listened to this song so many times I couldn't even count. It was true for many of us who needed just one more chance to imagine, fooling only ourselves. You are a gift beyond words. Thank you Bonnie.
just created an account to leave a comment here. All the famous singers who covered this song did well in their own ways, but personally, no one could reach to my heart as deeply as Bonnie did. Even after few decades, this song doesn't age or go stale. classic.
+K Song . I give Bonnie her props as the first to record this tune. I like it. For me however, Nancy Wilson's version resonates more profoundly. The musical accompaniment, and her voice, seems to echo the haunting pain of rejection in every note.
I cried with this song more than 100 times during my last breakup. It was therapeutic. Even 6 years have passed, every time I hear this song, my heart is swelled with emotion. The power of music.
Thats why being young is so great you are just innocent but nothing lasts forever and honestly thats what makes it beautiful. Life that is, hope you're doing well
Think I'm in that situation, but don't wanna let go without putting everything on the table. So hanging in there and fighting everyday. Hopefully, it all work's out.
It's the honest truth. Eventually your heart can't take anymore, and you have to walk away, because you realize you're unhappy and unloved, and there's no point in fighting any longer. You just have to move on and be happy again. 😞 I hope one day he realizes what he let slip through his fingers. Because I deserve better than this.....
Bonnie sang this just as it needed to be sang. No fancy runs- just straight forward because this was a song where the lyrics needed to be front and center.
Right here with you, brother. I thought it was the real thing, but...at least I have my fantasies of what I envisioned reality would be. Great Michael McDonald line serves my foolish follies "What a fool believes"
So many people have done covers of this song..I have listened to over 30 different artists, from amateurs to professional performers..all I have to say is: No one sings this song as beautifully, as tender, as heartfelt as the original artist, who we fell in love with almost 24 years ago. The legendary Bonnie Raitt owns this song. Bonnie: you are amazing!
Covering a song is not something you do to try and "beat the original". You do it because you want to sing it with your pwn emotion, and because covering a song is the greatest compliment you can give an artist, whether you do a good or bad job. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery.
Actually she didn't write this song. Mike Reid and Allan Shamblin, songwriters from Nashville wrote it wrote it around 1990 and Reid put it on his first album.
Very unlikely, as I usually detest reality shows such as X Factor or any of the talent shows. That, and the fact that I'm from Europe makes it very unlikely.
sean duchinsky Bonnie knocked it out the park, I love this version second best. 1st would be the version by Prince. I think he actually wrote this song and put it on his Emancipation album. Could be wrong though.
Reminds me of Marina and the Diamonds "Lies". She sings: You only ever touch me in the dark Only if we're drinking, can you see my spark? And only in the evening could you give yourself to me Cause the night is your woman, and she'll set you free ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hig5uLy2fe0.html
In 1996 I met this tall gorgeous blue eyed guy at a diner I worked at when I was 16. I fell totally and completely in love with this man. But I worried he didn't love me the way I loved him and i would play this song over and over and cry so hard...but you know 29 years and 2 children later, he is still with me and I have to honestly say...this man loves me so much more now than I loved him then..he does everything for me and our children he is a hard working provider. I can walk up to him and put my hand on his shoulder and he seems to forget everything and anything just to touch me back with chills all over his skin. Every single day when he's gone to work I can almost guarantee you that he calls me at least 5 times or more just to tell me he loves me. he's a construction worker so sometimes he will put me on (Duo) so I can watch him work and so he can see me. He has never been mean to me or violent This man loves me beyond words!!! He was diagnosed with heart disease a year ago....what will i do without him by my side. I trust in my lord and savior Jesus to keep him with me.💔 ❤❤❤ I love you Lenny!
I can''t bear the sadness of this song...covered by many singers such as George Michael,Adele but the version by Bonnie is still the best...no one can beat the original one
There have been a lot of well done covers of this song, BUT, nothing is better than hearing my girl Bonnie Raitt sing this amazing song...haunting, breathless, tearful, honest...
Crying as I am listening, last year in the pandemic I had a breakdown which led me to lose my wife. Tomorrow we are starting the divorce process and tonight this lyric is resonating with me like never before. I only wish to turn the levers of time to make up for my mistakes.
+prya bimantara funny thing is that I was gonna literally gonna cross oceans to go see someone who turned out to be not as into me as I thought he was.
I am an African American man and I love this song. Need I say more? Heart breaks has no color, gender or greed. I love this song. I love Bonnie Raitt... Sue me for appreciating real music.
Sorry to hear that, I know all too well how that feels. It takes awhile to get your heart and head right and slowly but surely it does happen. Time really does mend all wounds. That said I don't think it ever totally heals you move on but it does become a part of you.
Scott Swenson thank you for your kind words. I never liked this song because it never spoke to me til now. I played it for him, and he cried. He said he never meant to make me feel so sad and it hurts him to know he hurt me. I guess that's something. 😢
I wish there had been that kind of self awareness in my case. Not only was she really good at leading me on just enough so that I wouldn't walk away she was a master of twisting things around and always shifting blame back on me and making me feel guilty. It took forever to stop playing that game with her. I came to realize that she was all about herself and simply loved guys paying attention to her. Apparently all I was really good for was making her feel good about herself and boosting her ego. I had never felt that way about someone before and it was really hard to let go. It was even harder to come to the realization that she wasn't the person that I thought she was. Feeling heartbroken and foolish at the same time is really running the full spectrum of emotions. Thankfully, she eventually made moving on easy. She essentially refused to pay me back a healthy sum of money she had borrowed when I finally asked for it back after nearly two years. Not long after I asked she blocked me on FB and stopped returning texts and calls. In the end (all this took around 4 years to play out) I chalked the money up as the price to reclaim my soul from the depths that it had sunk to. I was listening to music yesterday and reflecting on everything which brought me to this song where I saw your post. After everything that I went through I have a lot of empathy for others who find themselves where I was...wouldn't wish it on anyone. Good luck!!
Scott Swenson I'm so sorry you had to go thru that. She sounds like a terrible person. I'm lucky in that I was only invested for a Few months but I sure fell hard. Sometimes we have to just take the loss when it's our very sanity and soul at stake. I'm actually glad that this happened. It just let me realize that I placed too much power in someone else's ability to make me happy. He's a good man but so damaged. He wanted to be honest enough to let me know that he did not see a future with me and his heart was still with his ex who shattered it. I get it now but it sure hurt like hell.
Thanks, me too...certainly not the most fun time in my life. You never plan to end up in a situation like that, and in my case it happened with the only person it could have happened with. That is a bit of a long story all in of itself. Even if the ending sucked the story of how it all started is right out of what would have been a really good Hollywood hit romantic comedy. I'm generally not a person who falls for just anyone so I held out hope longer than I should have praying for the happy ending that would never come. I gave her more than enough chances to just be up front with the fact that I was always going to be in the dreaded "friend zone" but for what ever selfish reason she couldn't bring herself to be honest with me. Her actions always said one thing but her words another...and I couldn't resist going with my heart instead of my head. I guess not going with the heart was probably to too big a leap for a guy who's favorite movie of all time is Serendipity. I absolutely agree that you can't look to others for happiness. There's a saying I heard ages ago that I am a firm believer in, "If your not enough by yourself, you'll never be enough with anyone else either". There's a real wisdom in those words. I hope all turns out well with you. You seem to have a really good attitude about it all and that's half the battle. I hung on till there was no longer a reason to knowing that at the very least I wouldn't have any regrets. I put myself through years of emotional chaos but when it was over I embraced the pain head on knowing that it wouldn't last forever and that I'd get thru it eventually. I don't think running from the hurt helps much. I wasn't about to regret my feelings, or be embarrased or ashamed of them either. Really in so many ways it brought out the best part of me. No reason to feel bad about that.
I got heartbroken a year and more ago during my last year of highschool. I’ve moved on, gone to college, been focused on my studies, and other things that occupy my days. However, after discovering this song and sitting here and really taking it in, the feelings I felt back then of helplessness, sadness, anger, and acceptance, came rushing back to me. Because truly, that pain of loving someone so much without them reciprocating the same feelings hurts too much. It eats at your heart and a weight is left in your chest as a constant reminder of the truth. I’ve told myself multiple times throughout that time of how I can’t make someone love me just because I loved them. The only thing left to do was to let them go. A thing that every person goes through once in their lives, a beautiful yet tragic experience. I berate myself at times when my mind drifts to that person, asking and wondering of unnecessary questions. Are they happy? How are they in this moment? Do they still have the gifts I gave them? Do they have them hidden away like I do, unable to remind myself of what was lost? Are they thinking of me like I do with them? Asking mundane questions from time to time, not stopping myself of these intrusive thoughts. I will never know, because going back to that place will hurt me more than I am hurting now remembering the nice moments we had with one another. Where everything was okay. And, I’m okay. Not going back to that place. Where I have grown and hold dear to the experiences they have graced me. Moving on takes a lot of patience and courage. it’s not an impossible feat, but there will be moments in life that remind of the troubles of the past and that’s okay. What is life without suffering? You haven’t truly lived if suffering isn’t present. How would someone know when suffering is gone if there hasn’t been suffering at all? In those moments of pain, one should cherish them because they allow a person to feel that pain that will grow into a stronger version of themselves in due time. Feeling the joy of being alive and happy. It sucks right now, but just know things will get better :)
It's one of the few songs that makes me literally feel all the hurt I was feeling back then, and of course remember the one that made me feel so strongly.
The best songs are simple and need an emotional voice. Singing is not about showing off, high notes that must be yelled or cascades of coloraturas. It´s about touching us in any possible way. Bonnie Raitt knows how to do it and this song is a perfect example for a good song
+Altonahh10 your comment ABSOLUTELY deserves at least 8000 more likes. I'm glad that I'm not the only one that thinks songs should be able to reach deep within our souls instead of just showing off with unnecessary acutes and so on. Thanks for posting that comment btw.
I totally agree that a simple voice can be very touching if it is emotionally connected to the music. For modern artists, I think Adele is in this category. With that said, there are many great singers who can belt and run exceptionally well, but remain emotionally connected. The likes of Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Celine Dion established their careers by doing that. Young singers today are in a contest to see who can do the most vocally, but seldom touch people's hearts.
Who is listening TODAY, with tears in BOTH EYES thinking about a love unrequited? You have VALUE. don't cheapen yourself trying to please someone who will never love you like you love then. Pick it up, wipe it off, and take it somewhere that deserves a heart like yours.
