Love is one of the most powerful forces known to man. Love is very much like water: it’s nearly everywhere, it can replenish, it can destroy, it can pour, it can pull you under, it can push you up, it can melt, it can freeze, and it can evaporate for use elsewhere, particularly when it isn’t reciprocated. Love that isn’t returned or acknowledged by an admirer falls into unrequited category. Though unrequited love can be painful and devastating, it is essentially part of the human condition and allows for gaining experience. Here are the 20 Best Songs About Unrequited Love:
