Unrequited love.

Explanation:

Unrequited love or one-sided love is love that is not reciprocated by the one who is loved.

This lack of reciprocation could be because of lack of awareness on the part of the loved one or lack of expression on the part of the lover, or because of a wide difference in perception about the nature of the expressed love, or because of a conscious rejection of the expressed love on the part of the loved one.
