Unrequited Love

We all know this feeling. An unrequited love is one that we feel deepest inside of us, that of which we don't ever speak of. It can be anything like a crush, a liking or even intense fondness at a first meet. These usually turn into fantasies.. which can also lead to obsessions. If the case is that it's only a crush or obsession with someone else, then it's not spoken of and chances are the other person doesn't feel the same about you, and these feeling can prove hard to overcome.

A good example of an unrequited love was that of Frank Sinatra. His being famous as an American singer caused a lot of women to acquire a feeling of lust, or 'unrequited love'. They had these feelings for him, and sometimes kept them to themselves. This is a more public example as it being common, people were usually comfortable with everyone else knowing how they felt.

Back in the 20's, races and ethnicities mattered a lot more than they did now. People that shared feelings of intimacy toward each other that were of different skin color were strongly disapproved of. This is a good example as when these kinds of relationships were held, they were always kept silent and hid from the rest of the world. It was either this, or, one ot the other didn't feel the same way.
