It is very possible to love someone who doesn't love you back and this happens a lot. Some people decide to carry on as friends while others decide it is too painful and cut off from the person.
If you think you are in love with someone and are feeling brave you can always tell them you think you live them.

I think you might question but I think it's like a feeling that never goes away. You may want it to because you are in pain, but it still won't go away. I think sometimes we look back and go "Oh that wasn't love at all!" But in the moment, you can't really do that.
I don't think love has to be reciprocated. That's like saying you can't be compassionate to someone unless they are compassionate back. Just cause someone else doesn't have the feeling doesn't mean you can't. It makes it easier to love someone who loves you back but it isn't necessary they do.
And I think it's easier to have that person out of your life. It's very painful to watch someone you love fall for someone else or never return your affections.
