(where "random" means "fanfic")
I am reminded of the multiple times that people have told me about their unrequited loves of the past, and I have reciprocated with my own tales, only to have them say, "don't you wish you'd told them?" And I have been shocked (well, not as much after the first time, but still some), because OF COURSE I TOLD THEM, you don't know it's unrequited unless you talk to the person, this person was telling me unrequital stories under FALSE PRETENSES. That was an "I have no courage" story, person! Come back when you grow a pair of shoulders!
Granted my big unrequited love confession was marred by expecting him to do a bit more about it, owing to his being The Boy, but at least I had the nerve to tell the guy and ask him to prom.
