unrequited
Unrequited is a term commonly used to describe a feeling or emotion, such as love or affection, that is not returned or reciprocated by the other party. It often implies a sense of longing or desire that remains unfulfilled due to the indifference or unawareness of the person for whom the feelings are intended.

Unrequited
Unrequited is the fifth album from Loudon Wainwright III. It was his last album on the Columbia Records label, released in 1975. Tracks 1–7 were recorded in a studio, while tracks 8–14 were recorded live at the Bottom Line in New York City. Tracks 15–17 are bonus tracks included on the Sony-Legacy CD reissue. Although stylistically typical of Wainwright's mid-1970s output, the album is somewhat groundbreaking in that though all songs are originals, one side is studio, the other live.
