Just this morning I made a deliberate choice to accept the feelings of love I have in my heart for an unrequited lover and let go of my attachment to the person itself. Cleaving my experience of Loving and the Beloved object allows me the freedom to observe, as the Teacher above, the intrinsic nature of Love itself and the impermanent nature of the object loved.
Mother Teresa had famously said, "Love them anyway." You can google the full quote yourself, but the idea is the same. Love is always within us and it's greatest expression is as a gift we give to others. Having love returned is merely an added bonus!
