How many times can you be told "you don't love them, you love the idea of them?" before you realize that's all love ever really was?

'I have suffered the punishment of an attachment without enjoying its advantages' -Sense and Sensibility

Falling in love with someone you can't have is like admiring a star that shines brightly in a distant galaxy, beautiful yet forever out of reach. It's a bittersweet dance between the heart's desires and the reality of circumstance, where longing becomes a silent melody echoing in the depths of the soul.

Am I the only 1 just exhausted? Exhausted from rejection, exhausted from trying, just exhausted from feeling. I'm done.

I have a crush on someone on the other side of the planet.

I'm a fiction writer and I created a magnificent character when I was 25. He is what I've wanted all my life, through all my long and short term relationships, but never found him. Now that I am in the autumn of my years, I know I will never find him in real life. Being in love with your own fictional character is beautiful, but extremely sad. And pathetic.

Im on a bulldozer pushing dirt and grading a lot for construction. I have my headphones on and all i hear is this beautiful music. Im a hopeless romantic just like the rest of you.

Had my first girlfriend ever at 29. We were together for six months. I fell madly in love. She broke up with me because she didn't fall in love. This was two years ago and I'm still devastated. Nobody will read this but I still wanted to get it out of my system. I wish the best to all of you.

When you’re in love with someone who is someone else’s the only loving option is to love that person enough to leave him/her alone.

It was about 2013, me and all my buddies would hang around watching movies. We ate and just made each other laugh. It was good times. I sat next to my best friend at the time. She and I would do everything together. I would take her to school, we would shop for presents for all our friends since we both had jobs. We would joke and make each other laugh. This one night we were both on a couch. She fell asleep next to me, not wearing shoes. She layed there tired, after working all day. I had the weirdest thought. "You should cover her up with a blanket, and give her a hug." I thought she might be cold, in fact, she was cuddling up on her own, with no one to hold. But i did nothing. On the other couch her boyfriend was just sitting there. One of my best friends, around 10 years. I have no clue what movie we were watching, but my mind went blank entirely for the rest of the movie. I had no other thoughts other than. What was that... why did I think that. That night I drove home and it was raining. Its always raining in moments like this. I realized I was in love with her. But it simply could not be. She was my best friend for so long and... I was just sitting there. I don't know what happened. The moment those words came into my mind, "I'm in love with her." I broke down, I held my chest. "No, no, no... what are you doing, stop...." But it happened. I fell in love. And the only thought I had was. I can never have her. My heart felt so heavy, i could barely pick up my head to look straight at the road. My eyes full of tears. I'm never going to have her... I'm never going to hold her.... In the next few days I could not sleep, I could not speak to my friends, especially not her... I saw my friends rarely. And when they would see me they would say, "Dude... are you ok?" And i couldn't even tell them. Because it would ruin everything. And it would change everything, and everyone would hate me. All I did was listen to music night and day. My father even took me out to eat. First time in my life, it was odd. I didn't bother telling him why I couldn't function. But at least he cared. I was at work, and I have no idea what but I suddenly was reminded of her again. I went to my car, and again it was raining. It just reminded me of that night. My manager came to me and I just said I'm sorry I just can't. I quit my job and apologized. But I didn't really care. It got worse. I told myself everyday, just forget it, it will go away. Forget her, stop being such a drama queen, stop being so selfish. She has someone, and you don't matter. I won't lie, I started to get extremely angry... I had anger pent up and didn't want to see anyone, I cursed the world... I hated him... and I felt guilty for having those feelings. But I know I was in love, and I told myself. If she is happy, that is all that matters. Shut up already. Shes happy. One night we were hanging out, I was sort of recovering. There was a meteor shower. She was there, but not next to me... They said the meteor shower was about to start, and I didn't really care for it. But we looked, and it was underwhelming. But I closed my eyes after seeing one, and made a wish. I wished that she would be happy for the rest of her life. And I feel like I let her go that day. Anyone going through this pain, I feel for you friend.

A couple of months ago my girlfriend moved across the globe with her parents. We had tried long distance, spoke for hours everyday trying to fight the time zones. Sometimes I would go days without sleep just so i could hear her voice. We had tried to keep our relationship a secret due to her parents being highly religious. One day they find out about us. I wake up to a missed call, a message telling me that she loves me, and all her social media accounts deleted. I have not heard from her since. If you are out there somewhere, i hope you are happy living your best life and i love you with all my heart.

In whispered words, a silent plea, The right touch, yet we couldn't be. The right promise, the wrong time to stay, In each goodbye, a piece of us fades away

To the person reading this, Good Luck! Don't stress, everything will be fine. No matter what difficulty you are facing right now, you can overcome it! You are strong and brave.

The worst part about loving someone you can't have is that you still carry their shadow with you. In every woman you look for something of hers subconsciously. And all i can think of now is how smile grew on her face and wish that she's happy wherever she is.

This music is the perfect reminder that life is worth living. I wish everyone who clicked on this video the most love, peace and abundance. You’re so much closer than you realize. I love you

I was in love with someone I thought I couldn't have. Now we're together and I cannot be happier.

Experiencing this situation right now... It's so painful.

I am in love with the idea of someone who doesn’t even exist

I may be out of line in saying this, but at this point, I don’t really care- that person doesn’t deserve you. You were beautiful before they decided to look you. Scream, cry, curse the world. Write a poem. Tape it to the bathroom mirror. Look at yourself. You’re beautiful. You always were. This realisation is the only victory you’ll ever need.

i was an amateur boxer up until about a month ago, when I was diagnosed with epilepsy, meaning that I can never fight again. I can never do what I love ever again

even if it's painful, at least she's happy and that's what matters to me

5 months ago I met the girl I had always dreamed of meeting. It was like the moments in movies where you see the girl across the room and suddenly nothing else matters. Somehow I ended up getting her number and we spoke every single day since.. until yesterday when I finally had to let her go. I drowned myself in the thought of one day having her as mine. Loving her the way she always wanted to be loved and seeing her in the light she always deserved to be seen. Turns out she had recently gotten out of 4 year relationship with the man who fathered her first child. She loves him and wishes he'd come back with every fiber of her being. In her eyes that is her soulmate.. in her eyes he's the one that will hold her.. in her eyes he's the man of her dreams. I sit alone at night wondering God why would you allow me to be so close to everything I desire without ever being able to taste the fruit. He said to me.. The love you wish to give is precious but it is not hers. I sat with myself through the night constantly replaying the memories the conversations and the emotions but I still can't understand. Why did I meet her? Why doesn't she see the vision I have? Why am I not the one? and the sad truth is.. I'll never truly know. But a piece of me will always hold on to the memory of a love not experienced.. a love so close but so far away as I leave this message so will I leave her and all the pain this brings me. She will forever live here and so will the version of me that doesn't understand. To feel this pain is to once have felt love. & that my friend is beautiful. - If you ever stumble and see this Le. It may have never been what I wanted. But in my mind and in my heart... it was amazing.

I love to read the comments than to listen to the music. It's like I'm watching a thousand love stories in my vision. To all the people who have shared their stories, thanks for sharing ❤

The old kind of love I’ve always known - unrequited love. It comes back once in a while, to mess up the little stability I have in my life. And then goes away, taking with it a little piece of hope every time. No one will love me back. I guess some people don’t deserve to be loved.

I usually never comment but i just wanted to say that i really like this playlist. Falling in love with someone you can never be with can make you go through an emotional rollercoaster. At some moments you feel happiness and comfort, thinking only of the good memories with that person or romanticizing your interactions and seeing only the best parts. But at some moments, when reality hits you and you realize that none of the things that you dream of can happen because of various reasons, you start feeling sad, hopeless and mentally or physically in pain...your heart hurts and the only thing you can do is try to get over it. And yet, you still find yourself going back and forth, constantly thinking of that person and going from daydreaming and making up scenarious with them to wishing you never fell for them or not knowing what to do to make things better. Longing for someone you can't have really is heartbreaking. I wish that no one gets to experience that pain. And yet, in my case at least, i find beauty in that pain sometimes. And i don't think i would change things even if i could turn back time. That is because of the good memories that i got from this experience and because i believe that loving someone is never a waste. As bad as it was and is, i don't think i could let go of certain things that happened if i could change the past and the present. While listening to this playlist, i also went through an emotional rollercoaster, having the same emotions that i described above so the title hits close to my heart and the music chosen goes well with the situation. I am really glad i discovered it. Thank you for making it!!

I found this last year when I was crushing on my English teacher. He was so charismatic, intellectual and the way he spoke about literature with such passion, he had me. What could I do, though? It was actually painful. I never met someone so handsome and funny. People with a good sense of humor are rare. I came back after the summer, and my feelings came back too. I dreamt about him, and in my dreams, I had him. Eventually, I got over it and was relieved. He probably saw me as every other student. He may have noticed my potential in writing, but nothing more. Being so young and dealing with these feelings is tough, it's like your whole world. He was older, and I was young. Bad timing.

We met on the internet nearly ten years ago. We eventually fell deeply in love with one another, and the bond that developed between us was unlike anything else I've ever shared with any other person to this day. She touched me in ways that no one else had ever touched me before. She helped me see parts of myself that I didn't even know were there, and I did the same in return for her. I connected with her more strongly than anyone else I knew in real life at the time. I had feelings for her that I never thought possible for me to feel. Even while there was so much physical distance between us, I've never felt closer to any other living soul than her's. For years we remained apart, until one day we planned to finally meet face to face. Seeing her stand before me at that airport and embracing her for the very first time was a dream come true in every way, and the ten days we spent together was nothing short of pure magic. On the final morning, we would then say our goodbyes as she gave me one last kiss at that airport before returning home. We spoke of seeing one another once more as the years went on, but as time and life would have it, this would simply not come to be. She no longer returns my messages. Until the day I met her, I never truly believed in such a thing as meeting that "special someone" you come across only once in a lifetime who totally transforms your understanding of love as you know it... and now I have become acutely aware of the sheer unlikelyhood that I will ever experience anything like that with another person ever again. There is simply no one else like her. No one. There is plenty of room in my heart for me to welcome other loving relationships of all different types, but the space that she has occupied there will remain untouched and irreplaceable by any other. She has ruined me... beautifully and completely.

Am I the only one scared to try to talk to someone you deeply admire, thinking about the ways you could be together.

This sound is so wonderful. The person who is reading this comment , i wish you great success , health, love and happiness

all i want is to hear her voice and her laugh one last time.

I loved her. I never told her, like a damn fool, but I loved her a lot. Unfortunately, there’s nothing either of us can do to make me stop loving her. She’s been gone for 2 and a half months now, and it still feels fresh. I think I will always love her. But it’s too late now. I miss her like no other and no woman will ever replace her, and the fact that I messed it up will always haunt me.

Love can be weird sometimes... Had a crush for almost an entire year. I loved her so dearly, and although I was openly friendzoned, I couldn't stop being in love with her. After that year, she moved on with my best friend. Two precious friendships were lost that night. That was an amount of pain I never thought I would feel. All my attempts for an honest apology were rejected by them (which I cannot blame them for), so my life goes on without them. I'm okay now, after three years, but there's still some broken shards inside my heart that cannot be removed.

The comments are all very melancholic and wistful. I feel out of place. I'm doodling stupid monsters, just happy I found a dope ass, chill playlist.

There was this beautiful girl in my year. We did drama class together, she always looked pretty and I found myself thinking of her a lot, obsessing really. But at the time I truly believed she would not like me as a boyfriend. It was heart wrenching, almost literally I felt a huge pain in my chest thinking on how I couldn't have her. I lacked the confidence to ask her out, or even speak to her, outside of class we were basically strangers. ...then one night, I called her (we exchanged numbers for a class project or something I don't remember). Graduation was coming soon and I was going to move state. So I called her, and through a shake y voice, I told her how I felt. I asked if we could go out a bit before I leave, she said no, understandably. I wished her good night, hung up the phone, collapsed to my knees crying. I felt sad/relieved/hurt, so many emotions, but the pain... I'll never forget that pain in my chest. I haven't felt that way in a very long time. But...i hope I do one day. I hope to love someone and them reciprocate that love to me. One day...

She’s happy. That’s all that matters

I think this music works for anyone who has felt deep loss. The kind of sorrow that no words can convey, only music can console the sadness.

Realizing I love him so much that I destroyed my ability to love at all so that I could simply be with him.

Falling in love with someone "you can't have" is actually not a bug but the chief feature of this vale of blood, sweat, and tears we call "live on Earth." Such experiences are given to remind us that these body-minds are not the true Self, and that we've only been temporarily clothed in these "rags of light" (as Leonard Cohen so aptly puts it) in order to learn how to suffer and sacrifice our ego desires for the sake of those who are not so lovable, attractive, or even good. That is the game that we agreed to play when we were still united to our true Beloved - to whom we shall return when this life is over - Who waits for us Above.

Nothing will ever be more disappointing than liking a girl you know does not have the ability to like you in the same way, ever. she will always see you as a friend and you just have to smile and be her friend.

I’m in love with someone who’s recently died. He wasn’t originally what I wanted but as we got to know each other I realised how many of his characteristics I loved. He graduated and moved back to his home country and was murdered. Since that I can’t help but see all the ways other men who are interested in me seem to be lacking in comparison to him. I think anyone I date next will always be standing in his shadow.

I am in love with someone who does not and will never even know me. All I can do is just sitting in my room, listening to the music, thinking about him endlessly, writing some stories about how things would be if me and him were in different universe, and end up wacthing him living in so much happiness and wonder on his own

This playlist is kind of comforting in a way; it reassured me that I haven't actually been in love yet. I am more than familiar with feeling platonic love for people, and I know how I have always been in love with the idea of love, and lately in love with myself, but I haven't had my "first love" experience yet. I didn't have anyone come to mind when I listened to this playlist, it simply reminded me of my *capacity* to love, which is a beautiful thing. Sending love to all the lovers in the comments

A moon's reflection on an ocean of stars, a tear from an eye, and a star falling with tears and blood. A sound of lightning with a demon walking by, a man and a woman eye to eye, and the laughter sound far, far. You can smell the flowers, like a thousand hugs from one of a kind.

Unrequited Love is a special kind of hell yet beautiful at the same time. A feeling that I wouldn't wish it even to my worst enemies.

My long distance boyfriend just got on a plane to go back home. The emptiness I feel can’t even be put into words.

Man i miss him so much. He is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. He felt like home. Falling in love with him was like a scene from a movie...it just happened. I just woke up one day and realised I was in love but we never got together because we weren't meant to be at the first place. Now its been almost 3 months since the last time I saw him. I cry almost every night. I hope he is happy and at least thinks about me once in a while.

There is so much pain in the world. And there’s even more pain that we can’t see. I’m wishing for the comfort and happiness of everyone who has found this playlist. You are not alone. I’m sending love to you and your hidden heart from my own 💜

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23

It's hard when your whole world slowly becomes a single person. You chase dreams and passions, all mltivated by that one person. But no matter how hard you chase, you can never reach them. Drowning in hopeless hope you continue to throw yourself into that resentless madness. But the pain only gets bigger the more you fall...

When you realize, slowly with time, he was a song, and you a rhyme. When you feel the pain, standing in the rain, everything lost, nothing to gain. When you dream of your love, but not your lover, when you try to hide, when you try to cover. That is how we fall in love, and this love is the purest- white as a dove. Endless like the sky, making you soar so high. Making you laugh and making you cry. Makes us feel and leaves us alone- staring at the sky, memories there; but our love gone. You realize, in the dead of the night, there was nothing to win for there was no fight. You were grey and he the colors; you dream of a world where you could be lovers. Or perhaps, my darling, you were the light- but he was the dark- the dark that did not like bright.

She was just a summer, but in that moment she was everything I could ever want. Then our plot line ended, she said that I had to move on because we were in two different parts of life, but I didn't want to. I still don't want to. But she has now stopped talking to me and so all I may do is recall our great adventures, and treasure my fond memories with that person. I've learned that you may do everything right and things may simply not occur how you wish. To the person that I love, thank you, as I now know that it's okay to not have the things we want, and "us" was truly a small blissful fragment in my life, in which I may regale in memories of true happiness. I love you, but for this life, I'll let you go. Thank you my dear, for being everything when I had no hope in anything, From, A changed stranger

just got rejected by my crush. it hurts man.

I have a huge crush on a girl that I went to school with. It comes and goes, but she continues to haunt my dreams. 15 years later and she still doesn't know.

It’s pretty hurtful to admit that ur in love with a person who impossibly can be had 😢, however, I love this music and believe it can reduce my brokenness…

We spent all week together. We laughed and conversed ignoring all that was around us. It was like we were the only people in the world. We drew something out of each other and enjoyed it. We acted as if we grazed arms by accident or that our nearness was merely a coincidence. We loved our quips, our inside jokes we would never let anyone in on because they belonged to us. We found comfort in each other. We didn't need anyone else because you were safe in my arms and I in yours. You didn't want me to know of your untold longing because of your fear of rejection. Your brother noticed and teased you for it. Your face became stone cold, like the queens guards, unmoving and refusing to show a sliver of emotion. But I knew what you were so adamant on concealing because I felt it too. I loved being around you and hearing your voice. You were like tea on a cold day and rest on a stressful one. I unlocked the doors that you worked tirelessly to keep closed. But you hated that I caused you to feel this way and faded away from me. You left me so empty after days of overflowing my cup. You abandoned me because you allowed fear to consume you. Was our time together nothing to you? Would allow your conscious to narrate your choices instead of asking me for reassurance. I would hand it to you like it was yours in the first place my beautiful boy. You deserve the reassurance. I wish to return to those days where you laughed as if I were the funniest person in the world. I want you to rest your head on my shoulder and to allow yourself to feel solace when with me. I want to wait for you. I want the boy you were those seven days. Until then I will be there in your corner if you ever need me. I want my joyous boy to return to me.

I met someone at work... The first moment we both looked at each other and paused for a second.. I knew exactly who this person was without them saying a word. As if I had known them from a previous life... We got on great, talked endlessly.. felt like time warped any time they were around. Also motivated me to be a better person. More responsible at work, better attitude. A lot of self reflection came from this meeting. They're involved with another though and I was ultimately left having to accept that I'd never have them in my life the way I wanted. Thoughts of them and the moment we met haunt me sometimes still. Just all the questions.. was it just a feeling, am I crazy, was it true love.. was it a lover from past life. Not sure

There's a girl I have immense feelings for. She's cute and adorable in her own way. I'm now across the entire country away from her. I'm homesick right now, and whenever I think of her my whole being forgets everything and I feel an assuring warmth, then I long for her all the more.

I'm glad I found this literally feels like all of you in comments are giving me a soft corner and somewhat like "it's ok you can cry as much as you want we are here!" Indeed it's extremely gloomy to fall for someone you can never ever have but the other side of this is, it makes you more calm and beautiful from inside🍂🍁😊❤️

I am in the dark, with a BRAND new book about murder and possibly romance, snuggled up in my favorite blanket, cuddling with my favorite stuffed animal, with the heater on, and listening to this. I am truly living the life.

Привет мир , этот плейлист нечто, такая музыка затрагивает самые потайные чувства, блаженство - написанное людьми ,чьи способности чувствовать невероятны, дар и проклятие. Да будет мир везде , любите друг-друга , творите , не бойтесь.

It was never about how much i loved you. It was always about how many laws I was willing to break for me to mean something to you

I fell in love with my best friend’s girlfriend, after they broke up we we’re still friends and became closer. I was hopelessly in love with her and she used that to her advantage. I was convinced we were dating for three months, so I leaned in to kiss her and she told me she didn’t like me that way. A few weeks later she told me that I was just and experiment and that she wanted to know if she liked girls, she doesn’t. And now two years later she doesn’t remember any of it, but I do, in painstaking detail. I relive it every time I look at her and I know she thinks nothing of it. So the only way I’m coping is writing it out like it’s happening to some fictional character, it’s all true but while I’m writing I can pretend it’s not. You never forget your first true heartbreak

I'm in love with someone, and he's perfect and all I've ever wanted, but I don't think I can have him. He's like a dream, there but unreachable.

Isn't it beautiful that we all have the ability to love someone? I am listening to this music and feeling very calm and relaxed. As if all hatred is washed away from me and this world. This music is like a cold but refreshing breeze in the dusk of the spring. It has it's ups and downs, like a life which is mundane but has slow curves of changes. I was lately feeling very stressed and anxious about my future and it's difficulties. It really breaks my heart when people hate each other for no reason. I never had any real life crush and no first love. It's hard to find a kind soul. So, right now i am not thinking about anyone. It's peace. I may never fall in love so music is all I have in my heart. Nice playlist.

This has happened to me so many times with different people. I’ll fall in love with a friend who is already taken and I’ll just suffer in silence, it always drains the energy and joy right out of me. No one will ever look at me the way I look at you.

I am listening to this because I deeply long after being with someone, but recently I've had to come to terms with the fact that I can almost guarantee my continuing loneliness. It fits in a weird way

You never really know who you’ll meet on a winter morning in early January, when the snow is knee high and the early morning sunshine as mesmerizing as it had always been.

A coworker and I are crushing hard on each other, but I can barely even look at her. 2 and a half months so far. We’re finally saying hello to each other haha. I’m such a dope.

i like someone i shouldnt even want, but i know its out of desperation and loneliness. if i were to get into a relationship with them, it'd fail horribly. long distance, family disapproval, etc. feels like i cant have anyone

To everyone dealing with unrequited love and feeling misunderstood, you are not alone. People around you may be advising you to move on, telling you that you should stop loving because it is unhealthy for you. Don't listen to them! Don't question the validity of your feelings, even if they are unrequited. You are on the path to understanding your mistakes, needs, childhood traumas. From now you can see how complex and beautiful is the world we got to live in. The truth we seek often lies in uncertainty, and only by navigating through the mist can we find a better place. It is during our lowest points that we are most likely to make significant changes in our lives. So keep asking questions, continue searching for answers, learn about love, engage in conversations with strangers, and try new things. Though it may be a challenging time in your life, remember this: You are not alone! I love you all!

To those who need this message: eventually the right person will come along. It’s not always who you’re longing for or looking for. You may not even be looking. But someday they’ll be there. I hope you’re ready.

I stare. You breake the silence And take my air. They're words in mind, Should I say? You are standing there, So far away. I keep harming myself For looking into Your eyes, A little glance, Every next More gluttonous in itself. They do adore ocean waves, Not knowing They break the edge; (They) Look at sky's stir, Not able to see Coming whiff, Burning cloud's face; But I see water spring Surrounded by dirt, So pure I create mirrors of our days, So calm I can not concern About storm, Coming on myself. Those words are pathetic, I shall not call Your name. But what can a man do, Living in love's mirage - - stand still or lay, Loosing drunk breath.

Love this. Romantic, but also atmospheric and soothing mix of tunes, with a hint of darkness. Big like here.

In college now and in the study abroad dorm. I’ve made such amazing friends, but this one guy just lights up my day with a simple smile. He’s from China and is my type on paper. He always checks with me to make sure I’m comfortable and happy. He’s always willing to do things with friends. But he has a girlfriend… finding that out was heart wrenching

I’ve confessed to her twice already about my feelings and she didn’t really push me away nor did she discourage my feelings for her. And she always had this smile, a smile that makes my heart flutter with excitement. I’ve never really felt for someone as deeply as I feel for her and I’m afraid. I’m afraid that I will never talk to her again. I’m afraid that I’ll never see that smile again.

We’ll be alone with our emotions, let your heart crack, let our soul exhaust, and let our mind challenge itself on whether it is love.

Sometimes I want to tell you that I like you but I bring myself back to reality and I rather not ruin what we have so I keep it balled up inside like everything else. Thank you for being breathtaking 🤌

Love is a mysterious thing that very few seem to truly find, and many of those who find it won't immediately realize what they have until closer inspection. Searching for love often doesn't work, rather love will find you when you aren't expecting it. The next part is how do you handle it. What do you do with it? Will you let the opportunity pass you by? There will be many chances if the love is genuine to respond, but the choice to reciprocate that love in full still remains with you.

i’m a hopeless romantic who falls for the guys who can’t actually love and i’m afraid to say that it….hurts…. far too much to handle sometimes

[ Empty happiness ] In the hidden corners of my heart, I'm caught in a mix of sweet and sad feelings, falling for someone who's no longer mine. We used to be close, sharing laughs and making memories, but time has pulled us apart. As I wander through the pieces of our faded connection, the warmth of our past stays with me, kind of like a beautiful ghost. It's a love that was alive once but now exists in the quiet spaces between what happened and what might have been. Their smile pops up in my memories, and I miss the comfort we had. But the truth is, we're growing apart, and that realization puts a shadow on the new feelings I'm starting to have. In this mix of loving and losing, I find comfort in the enduring beauty of a silent love, living quietly in my heart. "Was it ever real to him?" thanks for reading :)

Oh wow. Was listening to the music while doing my makeup. Now I'm finished and started reading the comments. I'm nearly crying 😭. So many sad stories. I have a huge-massive-he-is-the-one crush on a person I only know from the Internet and he doesn't even know that I exist. I'm trying to make contact but that is really difficult. I want to know if he is really the one or if everything is just in my head. It is so sad that so many here feel like me and also reassuring that I'm not the only one. Sending you all love and may the future bring us all loving and fulfilling romantic relationships ❤

Reading your favorite book series or tv show/movie and feeling like you are getting to know a character so well and living all of these experiences with them just to turn off your tv or close the book and realize they were everything to you but they dont even exist. Your mind apparently cant distinguish between real people and characters so you really can fall in love with someone who never was and never will be anything more than words on a page or images on your screen.

I've fallen in love with a coworker who wants nothing and sees me as just a friend. I have tried to fight my heart and feelings, but the most I fight the most stuck I feel in my deep sorrow.

I fell in love with my wife’s best friend. It was the most intense, soul filling love I have ever known. Nearly 12 months on from last speaking to her, the pain of losing that connection we had had nearly destroyed me. I still think about her every single day, and wonder if I’m even a fleeting thought in her mind. The not knowing is bad enough, but the knowing I wasn’t enough is like death by a thousand cuts

sometimes you fall in love with what you see in someone else that still has to come from potential to manifestation in you. In other words; you fall in love with yourself through the other person and then you find out whether it was true love. and if it was true love, then just get through the pain "quickly".. let it all fade.

I was looking for something to listen to and came across this video, the title grabbed me right away. As much as it hurts, I fell in love with someone, he noticed me a few times, those are precious, there are so many people after him... When I looked at him, I felt that he was the love of my life, it wasn't like he was a hyperfixation, or just a passing admiration, he was the man I had been looking for all my life. Beautiful, charismatic, an impressive voice, intelligent, we are in the same age group, I love him so much, however, it hurts to know that I can't have him, not now, I suffer a lot but I keep the hope of one day looking into those beautiful brown eyes

I fell in love when I was 8 with the most beautiful and funny girl I’ve ever met. She loved me too. We grew up together watching the sunsets in the beach. My parents decided to move to another country. I haven’t loved nor liked anybody in 8 years. Never got to tell her, even though it was obvious and she once asked me about it. That moment still haunts me. The way I cared for her, her not-so-beautiful laugh, her wavy chestnut hair and her thin figure standing on that bridge in the butterfly-house, surrounded by those flying wonders. She has a partner. She is 9000 km away from me, but when I look at the stars, I always smile and think about how she will look at the exact same shiny dots in approximately 8 hours…

I always love using these sorts of playlists while writing my book- it helps me connect with my characters better and in some ways, my book writes itself, you know? Any writers out there relate? You just pop in some music and the story get told right in front of your eyes. It's like you have no control over what you write anymore. It's a beautiful thing. In some ways, I get to see my characters and be there for their pain, their agony, their happiness, and their love. And when that love hurts them, it hurts me too. I think that's why people write and create, you kind of get to experience your own little story, much better than in real life, somewhere far away. I don't know where I was going with all of this but- I just felt like it had to be said. Thanks for the wonderful playlist!

falling in love with someone who is not meant to be...

We've both loved each other with an intensity that I've never known. It's been 43 years but he keeps throwing road blocks up, it seems. He won't spell it out but what else could it be. A whole universe of things, to be sure, but he has broken my heart too many times. I can't take this anymore.

I have had this crush on someone in college who is knowledgeable and full of chivalrous for almost a year. I am one of his friends who would have dinner once a week. I enjoyed the dinner time that we could eat and talk about various things for an hour or two. He always makes me laugh and says things about philosophy or swords. It doesn't matter to him whether I understand or not. It doesn't matter to me either, I just like to hear him talk. I don't know if he'll ever know how I feel about him. I've already decided to hide my feelings since I know he won't feel the same.

I am in love with someone who is from another country and practices a different religion than mine. I met him last year online, we were both going through a hard time in our lives but he was amazing. A sweet, shy, cute and caring man who always made me smile and laugh. I got used to him, we always talked in the middle of the night before sleeping, we helped each other feel better even though everything was a mess around us. He was an amazing singer and songwriter, I loved listening to his songs and him playing the guitar. I think he was in love with me because he was always by my side (despite the distance), and he would travel to meet me. He used to remember little details about me, and always tried to support me as much as he could. But I decided to end our "friendship" because things about us were going to be hurtful, I knew I had to leave him even though I didn't want to. One day I wrote him a letter ending things, it was heartbreaking but I'm sure it was what I had to do. Now that 8 months have passed without him, life is different. I feel empty, like I'm missing something. I just know that my life has changed since he doesn't ask me if I've had coffee at my grandmother's house anymore, like he did every afternoon. I miss when we talked about my hazelnut ice cream (because it's my favorite flavor), I miss his voice, his laugh, I miss the pictures of the sea he used to send me, I miss when he talked about his childhood and his family, I miss all those funny conversations about our cultures, I miss him so much it tears me apart. As he used to say, he wasn't the most handsome guy or the coolest guy in the world, but he was himself. That's exactly what I miss the most, him being himself with me.... A real, honest, smart and unique man

I don't know why I'm commenting on this. It feels like a blank paper as my fingers glide through the keys. In the end, I guess, it's always 'you' and 'you' alone. She entered my life silently; I couldn't even figure out when the abstract stars aligned in my night sky to paint a glistening constellation of purpose and promises. Each time, I knew, maybe this wouldn't last long. When the end approached, all I had was a soft swansong caressing my ears, trembling: "I couldn't love you the way you longed for. I couldn't paint our dreams the way you longed for." Whenever I flip back through the pages, it makes me ponder how perfect she was in every aspect. Our friends would look at us, even when we were just friends and nothing more, and say, "You two somehow look made for each other." Maybe we were, but we couldn't stick together. To her, I could never be the man you hoped me to be. You were my everything at some point, but maybe not forever. Constellations drift apart, billions of light years away; we spent it all, trust me, we lived it with everything we had. Only we know how long... how long those moments lasted because some frizzle-haired scientist came up with a theory that says "Time is Relative."

I have a crush on this girl, she is wonderful. I love her, her eyes are so vibrant and full of life. She makes me feel happy but not the excited butterfly type of way but in a calm way. She has this boyfriend that isn’t good for her but they’ve been together since the 6th grade. I just met her this year. I don’t want to interfere with their relationship but I love her. I love her so so so much. Though I will leave her alone with him, because he makes her happy more happy than I could ever make her. The way she looks at him hurts me but makes me happy at the same time. She loves him but not me.

I fell in love with one of my childhood friends, the problem is that he’s extremely homophobic. I never told him how I felt but when he found out I was gay he stopped talking to me. Life is cruel sometimes.

I loved this girl for years, still love her. She loved me, but I was too much of a coward to express my love to her, she moved on and found love.. Always express yourself, even if you're scared shitless.

I don't know what love feels like anymore - what is it like to be happy? I cannot feel the same emotions I once did for it with anyone. The only time I feel love is when I listen to classical, or play the piano. Only then can I feel and understand the emotions I've lost over the years. Years and years go by and I can't find a single person I can connect with or relate to. Even in a purely platonic relationship, I don't know what it feels like any longer to truly care for someone. But music like this is like a deep, filling breath of remembrance that leaves me with something I thought I would never feel again. If only - maybe with rest.

Finally something to make me feel.

Just perfect! Whimsical, dreamy, hopeful, full of longing. This music isn't heartbreak; it's lost in love that is full of longing and still somehow hopeful. I remember those days, and this music takes me there again as a melancholy backdrop. Thanks for putting this together for us all to enjoy.
