Which hurts more?

In November '08, I posted this:
Which hurts more?
1. Loving someone from the side. Meaning that that person you love could be a good friend of yours, or you could simply just be normal friends/acquaintances, whichever the case. However that person is unaware that you love him or her.
or
2. When two people love each other but they cannot be together for some reason. Which means that both of you love each other (the feeling is mutual). However due to some circumstance you cannot be together.
In my opinion, it would be option number two.
Because in option number two, both parties are equally anguished.
In option number one... it's just you.
And even though option number one seems to hurt more, it's actually not true, because you don't consider the other party.
Unless you're confident enough to say that he/she is hurt because he doesn't get to reciprocate your love.
But he wouldn't know that.
If you asked me this again now, though, I'd pick option one.
Because even if there are two people hurting in option two, both of you know that you love each other anyway. In option one,
you hurt
so much more.
