Liberty Avenue Park

[ambustharp]

We sat on the swing set
that was built for kids younger than us.
Late into the evening we would talk
about nothing.
Me and my great unrequited love,
because for all our talk
I never told her that.
Nor did she ever tell me.
So to this day
we remain suspended
in that unrequited state
which is beautiful
for it can never turn to hate.

I enjoy the image you express- of two kids on a swing, both in love with neither one knowing the other's feelings. However, I don't know how I feel about some expressions that seem overly common- "unrequited state," "never turn to hate," "unrequited love," "talk about nothing."

Is there a deeper, more powerful way to express each line?[/b]
