About This Quote
Unrequited love is a devastating emotion that, for many people, can be very difficult to deal with. More often than not, people have been rejected on some level or another before. In this case, he is speaking of a woman who was rejected by him. It is unfortunate that she chose to reject him but it is understandable.
However, he is making the point that even if she chose to reject him and never spoke to him again, she would still be carrying this burden of rejection in her heart. This man has also heard of others who were rejected and would never be able to let go of their pain and continue on in life.
