I don't have an unrequited love story as such cause love is quite a heavy feeling I tend to reserve only for very few in my life. But I do have a crush story 
I was in class 8 then and during every break my friends and I used sit on benches available around the field and I would set my eyes on this gorgeous senior playing some great football with his friends. Tall, buff, pretty with incredible hair and dimpled smile. Class 10. It was swoon at first sight! 
There's this thing we did though. His friends were jackasses who would kick the ball towards my bench and then we would make unnecessary eye contact while he retrieved it
This went on for the next two years till he graduated school. My friends and other seniors wanted to introduce us for so long but I was like nah. I had no inclination of meeting him or talking to him outside our sacred football break space. Not because I was shy or anything. But I just didn't want the illusion to break. First boyfriend happened soon after so I forgot about him.
Cut to college fest second year, and there I was dancing to one of my favourite indie Bong bands and who do I see across the concert ground
Still pretty, still gorgeous as ever. Even taller than I remembered. And that smile! It was a trip cruising past all our drunk friends to finally meet in the middle. The first hi's were just giggles 
We stuck to each other like glue the rest of the night much to the annoyance of our friends and talked so much about school! He was here with his friends on tickets arranged last minute. Fate! Nothing happened though cause I think both of us wanted it to be an untainted space. He knew I had refused to initiate even a talk during high school and told me he was kinda heartbroken over it
All said in smiles and giggles. He was so darn cute!
Eventually I had to leave and he gave me his number. But again, I never called. The illusion is still exists and he's still the dreamiest mf my eyes have ever seen
