5 Unrequited Love Letters

Did You Lose My Number?

Dear _____,

Did you lose my number? Did we even exchange numbers? I know we don’t know each other that well, yet we were intimate _____ (name the last time you were intimate together.) Was that just a casual thing for you? If so I will take the hint and assume that you don’t want to take this further. If not, you know how to find me by looking me up. This requires you to remember my last name. If you have already forgotten my last name, then perhaps you shouldn’t be calling me anyway. Otherwise, I really would look forward to seeing you again.

Yours sincerely,

__________

I Love You Anyway

My Dearest _____,

I am so distraught that we can’t ever be together. I wish you could wrap me in your arms and tell me it will all be ok but I know you can’t. I will make this brief because I know it hurts you to see me this way.

Even though you have left me for ______ (name the person), I will always love you anyway. I want to let you know that if _____ (he or she) ever hurts you in any way, that I will be here to embrace you with my unconditional love.

Please continue love me too even though fate has split us apart! May you be blessed and cradled in the arms of those who love you forever. May you recognize that true love is letting go as I have done…

I love you…

Where Did You Go?

Dear _____,

Hey, what’s up? You contact me every day for _____ (name the number of days or weeks) and then suddenly you stop? I hope you are ok.

Where did you go? I was thinking about you today, hoping you’d call or email. Silly me, I guess I am under the delusion that the more I think of you, the more inclined you will be to call, email or stop by for a visit.

Please drop me a note to let me know that you are still interested in continuing this _____ (romance, friendship) so I know what to expect. Sorry to sound so disappointed, but you have trained me to think of contact from you as being the highlight of my day. Now I feel like I have nothing to look forward to …

Sorry, all of this is making me a little mad, not only at you for being so silent, but also at myself, for loving you when you may not be interested.

I miss you,

Mixed Messages

Dear ______,

I am writing you because I realized that that I didn’t say everything I needed to last ______ (name the day.) It’s funny that you should reject me that particular day, because that day, I was feeling that we had never been closer. I guess that was a beautiful delusion.

To tell you the truth, I was a bit put off by my request to _____ (insert request such as have sex, move in together, get married.) In fact, I was shocked. I am wondering why you would go to all the effort of making me feel so loved and emotionally secure by ______ (name what he or she has done) and then pull the rug out from all that I believe by rejecting my suggestion.

Maybe this is all my fault and along I have been interpreting your behavior as a green light to go forward. If so I apologize. If that is true, then why did you encourage me by ______ (name how he or she has encouraged you.) It is frightening me to think that you could be so manipulative as to play with my feelings like that, or that my own intuition about you is so misguided.

All I can think is that you have been giving mixed messages. You must be either very confused or afraid. Why have you been giving me mixed messages? I need to know, because I still love you.

Always,

_________

Are We Still Together?

Hey _____ , (insert pet name)

Please do me a favor and read all of this letter and think about what it says. I hope what has happened doesn’t mean that we have broken up. I hope we haven’t. It’s pretty lonely around here without you.

I understand why you have made the choices you have. I understand that _____ (leaving the country, going to college, staying with husband or wife or other departure) is the best thing for you. Still you need to know that even though you are far away, I need to think of you and pretend you are here every single moment of the day.

There is something I have told you. I really love you. I can’t sleep without knowing for sure that we still have the future. Yet I am sleeping more to avoid knowing that you are far away. This is the only way I can still pretend that you are still with me in person. I really did thing from the first time that we got together at ______ (name the place) that we would always be together. Please tell me I wasn’t wrong. Please tell me that the love I saw in your eyes was not my imagination.

Can we do this long distance? Let me know or set me free, even though it would break my heart.

Love always,

________
