If you wrote a book on falling in love with someone you can't have, what would your last line be?

Question

I know personally that not all love stories end with a "happily ever after." Some are beautiful but impossible.

I feel like the ending of the story would speak volumes about our view of love.

So, what would your final line be?

I knew the day we met I'd always love you like I knew you'd never be mine, but it felt good to dream and hope even if for just a brief moment that something would change. I will love you from afar, standing by the shore watching the horizon. You are my unreachable horizon.

She smiled, knowing that there was much growth from learning that sometimes when one door closes, another one is right around the corner to open new opportunities to grow even more.

Ah, love – the rollercoaster ride that sometimes leaves us with our hair a mess and our hearts asking for a re-do! 🌪️ In the beautiful chaos of falling for someone we can't have, my final line would be: "In the end, loving the impossible is proof that our hearts can dream beyond barriers, forever chasing the horizon of hope and learning to dance in the rain of what-ifs."💃❤️

The 2009 movie "The (500) Days of Summer" is basically this theme.
The movie focuses on Tom who meets a girl at work named Summer. She's not serious, but he's all into the mythology of love. He falls in love with her and, in modern terms, they have a situationship. She eventually leaves Tom.

The second to the last scene occurs on Day 500 since Tom met and became infatuated with Summer. Summer left Tom quite a while ago. In this scene, Summer visits Tom as he sits at Angel Knoll park in Los Angeles. She thought she might find him there since she knew this was his favorite place in the city and he took her there to teach her about the beauty of the architecture of the city. (Tom wanted to be an architect, but he met Summer at the greeting card company they both worked at.) Tom fell in love with Summer who never actually wanted a boyfriend was clear about that, but he likely never believe it being all into true love and destiny and such. So, he was devastated when she ended things. In this scene, Summer acknowledges that she, indeed, got married. So, all was lost with Summer. They have a good but bittersweet talk.

However, the end of the movie, which I believe also starts on Day 500, is wonderful as it becomes Day 1 with Autumn. The look Tom gives the camera at the end is priceless - the sort of thing that isn't captured in literature. It reminds me of the look Woody Allen gives the camera at the end of Manhattan.

I will let this scene answer your question.

For comparison, here is the ending of Manhattan...

Probably the best and best known story of unattainable love ever written.

Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter–tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And one fine morning—-

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”

The Great Gatsby - F Scott Fitzgerald

You spent 28 years being my best friend amd only listening to everything I ever said so you could tell me everything I ever wanted. to hear only to disappear when I left my wife for you? I can see why you are alone. And why everyone told me I was crazy for sticking up for you.

The whole male female dichotomy is natures way of scamming us into reproducing. It's all bullshit. I wish I'd known then what I know now.

“… and then he stared down at his feet for a time. Taking in the rich brown tones of his shoes and frayed seams of his pant cuffs. A tiny ant’s face peered up at him from the ridge in his shoes where the rubber and leather are bound together. A gentle warm breeze wafted a woman’s giggle across his ears, shaking him from his reverie.

The sound of an engine roared to life down the street. “Well, I guess that’s the end of my lunch break,” he muttered to himself balling up his paper bag.

Being the writer I am I will alter a few lines from a poem I wrote long ago.

Though as fate decreed it was not mean to be let it be known that the moment I fell in love with you,

You could never die,

Because long after you are gone my words shall remain and within them you,

A beautiful tapestry, my greatest masterpiece forever immortalized in ink.

I might base it on my own experience. My childhood sweetheart and I wanted to marry, but she got in an accident. The last line might have something to do with learning to moving on.
