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

I Put A Spell On You: Screamin' Jay Hawkins (His love for her was unrequited, so he'll put a spell on her to make her his. An interesting dating technique, but a little unsettling).

Still Got the Blues - Gary Moore

This may or may not fit ...yet maybe a lost love became so because it was unrequited. Either way this is a classic full of heartfelt soul and passion as Gary's guitar sings the blues.

So many years since I've seen your face
Here in my heart, there's an empty space
Where you used to be

So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

Though the days come and go
There is one thing I know
I've still got the blues for you

"I Can't Make You Love Me" - Bonnie Raitt

This song brings me back to a time long ago, yet still goes straight to the heart, reminding me how it felt knowing the "magic" was over.

I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
