UNREQUITED LOVE SONGS

 

How about the "other" love song. Not about breakups or lost loves, but the love that is not returned.

 

My first choice would be a beautiful love song that most people may not think of as unrequited. 

 

"Cherish" - The Association

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCfKvuh_uq8

 

Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could mold you
Into someone who could cherish me as much as I cherish you

Crazy: Patsy Cline (Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you/I'm crazy for trying/And crazy for crying/And I'm crazy for loving you).

  Aubrey - Bread

 

And Aubrey was her name
I never knew her, but I loved her just the same
I loved her name
Wish that I had found the way
And the reasons that would make her stay
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest
If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the best
