Loving and Losing

‘What happens to unreciprocated love?’, I asked him. As he was 20 years older than me and someone I looked up to, I was expecting an honest and wise answer. He looked deep into my eyes because it was a question out of nowhere, he was trying to gauge whether I was joking or really…
