Hey, I've already been wondering for a while if there's a word for being in love with the unreachable. Do you know any word which would express that love?

word-stuck:

la douleur exquise

image

a French term that describes the heart-wrenching pain of wanting the affection of someone unattainable;

image

narrower than “unrequited love,” as it refers specifically to the emotional experience of the one whose love is not being reciprocated;

image

it is the exquisite pain one experienced when loving someone they can never have, and knowing that they will still try to be with them
