Heart-wrenching Unrequited Love Quotes
Happy Sunday!
Love is always beautiful but when unrequited, it becomes painful. Not everyone but many had faced this one sided, unreciprocated love.
Often you would want to give up on the hope that they will may be love you some day but you can’t. I have faced this pain too and it is way too hard to move on.
So, today I have 31 quotes on this. Readers who have faced it may relate to it. And readers who have not been in this situation, enjoy the quotes.
1: “Nothing had changed. I was the stupid one again. I was the girl who never understood who she was to people.”
2: “’And how do you really feel?’
‘Like I’ll never recover. Like I’ll never draw another breath without half of it being a wish for him.’”
3: “I’d always secretly believed that a love as fierce and true as mine would be rewarded in the end, and now I was being forced to accept the bitter truth.”
4: “When you experience loss, people say you’ll move through the 5 stages of grief….
Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance
….. What they don’t tell you is that you’ll cycle through them all every day.”
5: “She knew too well the heartbreak of wanting love from someone who was not capable of giving it.”
6: “Never fall in love with someone that won’t fight for you because when the real battles begin they won’t pull your heart to safety, but they will their own.”
7: “Unrequited love is so boring. Weeping under a blue-black sky is for suckers or maniacs.”
8: “I loved you even when you forgot me.
And—for a little while—you loved me back.”
9: “Though these words will never find you, I hope that you knew I was thinking of you today….. and that I was wishing you every happiness.
Love Always,
The girl you loved once.”
10: “When the person you love can’t see your love for them beneath the painful things you say when they reject you, remember this: Love is blind.”
11: “My heart no longer felt as if it belonged to me. It now felt as it had been stolen, torn from my chest by someone who wanted no part of it.”
12: “You know, unrequited love is very difficut? It’s not just having this one-sided love of someone who’s far away. Being close, talking daily, liking a guy who’s constantly near me is harder than it would be under different circumstances.”
13: “The biggest curse in life is not loosing your love, but not being loved by someone you love.”
14: “I am drowning in the silence you left behind”
15: “Didn’t realize when my love for him reached to the point where I don’t even need “him” to love him.”
16: “Unrequited love differs from mutual love, just like delusion differs from the truth.”
17: “You lose yourself trying to hold on to someone who doesn’t care about losing you.”
― Tablo
18: “There is nothing so mortifying as to fall in love with someone who does not share one’s sentiments.”
19: “When you give someone your whole heart and he doesn’t want it, you cannot take it back. It’s gone forever.”
20: “The one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person.”
21: “There comes a time in your life when you have to choose to turn the page, write another book or simply close it.”
22: “When you love something, you have to make sure it loves you back, or you’ll bring about no end of trouble chasing it.”
23: “The worst feeling is falling for someone and knowing that they won’t be there to catch you.”
24: “To burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves.”
25: “Too many of us are hung up on what we don’t have, can’t have, or won’t ever have.”
26: “You have everything that is wrong, but I did everything that is right for you.”
― Unknown
27: “The scars left by a wounded love would never fade away. It could still hurt like it is still freshly cut.”

30: “We are somehow responsible for some of our heartbreaks because we expect too much.”
― Unknown

These are so heartwrenching. “The scars left by a wounded love would never fade away. It could still hurt like it is still freshly cut.” That is so true.
Interesting content love it
I like the qoute no. 11. It described an unrequited love. It is painful that the one you loved will be the same person who will tore you apart.
Great content. I will put one of them for my Instagram Caption, especially no 20 because it relates so much. Thanks for sharing.
All these quotes are so heartwrenching. Very nice compilation.
Lovely quote, very romantic and intense. I feel a little calmer about love but it is important to read to enrich your experience
I remember my first hard breakup and how it felt like I would never live again. Love can be so hard.

These are so sad! I hope that everyone who feels this way eventually finds real love and knows to love themselves.

“There comes a time in your life when you have to choose to turn the page, write another book or simply close it.”
“We are somehow responsible for some of our heartbreaks because we expect too much.”
So relatable! Had to learn this the hard way..on the bright side, I can comfort someone who is undergoing the same thing I experienced.
Indeed these quotes are so deep and meaningful even though these are heartbreaking…like every single word touched the heart…glad you shared these with us…people who have suffered through this situation will definitely find much pleasure after reading these quotes….
I love quotes about love. Not the unrequited ones as much haha. It’s because I’m a Libra. We’re in love with love
Great collection of dramatic quotes, you really get the sense of anguish in unrequited love.
These are such great heartwarming quotes. It is important to have uplifting and positive quotes to make your day!!!🤗
UGH That Jane Seville quote!! TRULY heartbreaking and I feel like I’ve felt that way before.
These are all so beautiful! Always inspiring to read.

I love these quotes. I think we can all relate to unrequited love. Quote ⓮ is my favorite.
All quotes are heart wrenching. I like all of them. Thanks for sharing
I love all the lines you posted here, very powerful and one can definitely relate to. Number 17 is my line.
These are really awesome quotes. Sad but heartfelt and profound.
Well these aren’t exactly heart-warming, ha! But you did warn us! lol
All the quotes are really very nice. I loves reading them all.
So many good quotes. Love is awesome but it can also be so painful.
Although these quotes are sad, they can be a start to a new beginning. Realizing that some things do not work out but to move past it. Such great quotes.
These are both incredibly beautiful and incredibly said. Really good stuff. I love them.
I love quotes. You have great collections of them. Thanks for sharing
These quotes kinda made me sad. I don’t like unrequited love quotes.
Your quotes really move my heart. They are wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
I just can’t stop reading your quotes. They are of a great value. Thanks for sharing, it’s Soo amazing.
Unrequited love is not fun. I have been in that position a few times. My favorite of the quotes is this one: “When you love something, you have to make sure it loves you back, or you’ll bring about no end of trouble chasing it.” by Patrick Rothfuss. He is an amazing author by the way.
I have to say, what an interesting post! It is refreshing to see such a unique collection. These are so deep, I felt some of them in my core. I think that most people can relate to these, and that is what makes them special. To feel that way is to feel human!
those are heartbreaking :'( I loved the one about drowning. Unrequited love is the worst.
These are heartbreaking and bring me back to my depressed teenage days when I was very much in love with someone who didn’t love me back.
There is something so pitifully poetic about unrequited love. It’s funny. I’ve experienced it, certainly not easy, but hey. Part of life!
I like number 6 “Never fall in love with someone that won’t fight for you because when the real battles begin they won’t pull your heart to safety, but they will their own.” and number 25 “Too many of us are hung up on what we don’t have, can’t have, or won’t ever have.”
Number 4 is really my favourite because it’s exactly how it works
‘Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance; all the time!
14: “I am drowning in the silence you left behind.” ― Sakshi Narula…..this is the word!!!
Reading all of these made me quite sad 🙁
Hopefully you’ll fill you blog with more possitiv once soon, I am keeping my fingers crossed 🙂
I enjoyed reading these quotes they are beautiful and I love this quote ” “Never fall in love with someone that won’t fight for you because when the real battles begin they won’t pull your heart to safety, but they will their own.”
― Shannon L. Alder
Definitely an unusual topic for a post. I think no6 is the best. Not worth having someone like that in our lives.
I so agree with #6 and #7, especially #6. Be with someone who will fight for you always. Also, I’ve never had unrequited love so I can’t speak to it but I hate the fact that women are mostly affected by this to the point of depression.
Lovely quote, very romantic and intense.Thanks for posting
I can relate to quote no. 21. I think that is life. You have to face life’s challenges squarely. But we need to choose our battles and ensure we fight to the end.
So true what you said. I loved all your quotes.
We all need some love now and it’s important that we also share it. You have so many great quotes and thanks a lot for sharing with us! I think I response well to a number of them, and number 23 is just heartbreaking 🙁 – knycx journeying
I love how painful these were. Unrequited love is really painful. I know this coz I have been through it.
There’s nothing worse than a broken heart! These quotes really express the pain!
Love can be a double edged sword at times. Lovely post depicted a lot of heart-wrenching quotes.
A couple of these quotes made me a sad but they’re facts of life and very insightful.
Quote #4 is so true. When my mom died, it was like the end of the world for me. It is true, you can never put a timeline for grief. For my past relationship, I could relate to Quote #21. If I could only erase those unpleasant memories from my subconscious mind, I would do it!
Love is indeed beautiful but it can be so difficult as well. I love this selection of quotes, especially number 20 and 23.
These are beautiful quotes full of so much raw emotion.
Powerfully amazing quotes. Every single one of them is full of the wrenching truth. “Wrenching” because it resonates with the truth.
Unrequited love is so sad. But that’s life. We should always move forward. Grear quotes you’ve shared here.
I have my quotes book which I always go through whenever I am down. I will save some of yours which I did not have.
From the list, this is my favorite: “’And how do you really feel?’
‘Like I’ll never recover. Like I’ll never draw another breath without half of it being a wish for him.’” It resonates me a lot.
Unrequited love is sometimes the best form! I mean if there is anything more painful than a breakup, then it’s the one-sided love! These quotes are indeed heart-wrenching!
Very somber quotes but keepers for sure! My favorite one that had a unique play one words was: “When the person you love can’t see your love for them beneath the painful things you say when they reject you, remember this: Love is blind.”
These were so heartbreakingly beautiful. I loved them. Thanks
Unrequited love quotes are soo deep, you feel it everytime you read it. I loved #19. Thanks for the compilation
I’ve faced some quite painful moments too concerning love. For more than five years. But I’m thankful we’re now planning our wedding. I believe if the love is strong and true from both ends you’ll really hurt each other sometimes, but you’ll end up happy.
Great read. Some of these are really good!
Thank you for sharing these quotes! I could resonate with so many of them.
Wow, just wow! These are some of the amazing quotes, I can actually feel the pain on some of them. Surely unrequited love is painful and these quotes do express the pain so well.
These quotes are heartbreaking. I can’t imagine how awful it must be to fall fully and truly in love and be rejected. I feel so lucky I’ve never experienced this, I can’t imagine how painful it must be x
I love all of the quotes post you have been posting. There are a few jems in here.
My favorite, who hasn’t been there? “She knew too well the heartbreak of wanting love from someone who was not capable of giving it.”
Those really are quite heart breaking. It reminded me of my eldest daughters unrequited love that really left her sad.
You may think it would be easy to tell if love is unrequited but it isn’t always clear and can cause a lot of confusion and emotional turmoil. Learn what to look for and how to address the situation. Thanks for these quotes!
These are very profound thoughts borne out of love and loss but this quote resonated the most with me “Never fall in love with someone that won’t fight for you because when the real battles begin they won’t pull your heart to safety, but they will their own.”.
All of them are so lovely. I could identify with them. I had a good time reading them. Lovely post.
This is a bit hard to read (from past experiences), but very nice quotes
These are lovely quotes, Thank you for sharing these.
This a power packed compilation of the feelings and i can imagine the emotion in each line as you have selected these. Thank you for sharing these
Love is truly beautiful and pure. Unfortunately, we cannot force it, therefore, unrequited love is truly painful.
These are some great quotes! This was a great read, thank you for sharing!
Beautiful quotes. A 30 year old mother of two hardly gets the time to savour the language of love.
Lovely quotes about unrequited love. I can totally relate to some of these quotes ☺️
Oh I love reading quotes and have a good collection of it myself. I loved all your quotes especially the last one
She’d been in love with the man, and love is a scary thing. If not reciprocated, it can turn a person into a monster.
So deep
Lovely quotes most of damn can be related to life and love
Gorgeous quotes, but kinda make me glad I’m no longer single and happily married! Lol.

I love these quotes. They give one something to dwell on.
This post reminds me of the Sex and the City movie when Carrie is reading the collection of love letters, and then Big sends her emails about them. Don’t know why, it just pings my memory this way.
Heart-wrenching indeed! That’s a great compilation, could feel the pain through so many of those.
Really awesome and thanks for sharing the beautiful quotes. It’s a great reminder. Love reading your post.

Ah or when the love you thought you had forever dies. Both are bad on the heart.
Your quotes are awesome. Such a nice post.
My fav. quote was by Meredith Taylor. I know I have felt this before. It’s painful but helps you grow.
These are heartbreaking love quotes. I’m not much for these kinds of quote because it saddens me.
This is an amazing post and all the quotes are really heart-wrenching.
Numbers #2 and #3 hit me hard. Unrequited love is horrible and these quotes say it perfectly.
Heart breaking for sure. I wish no one has to feel this pain.
Wow these quotes are deep. I love quotes though, so relatable.
