Agreed in part with many of these comments. But I can't help but take a hopeful note from this song too. Yes, he may love a girl who didn't love him back right away, but he is taking an obvious comfort in his (perhaps deluded, I'll admit) conviction that regardless of the past, his love for this girl is so strong, that she inevitably will love him back. If there is any such thing as justice or goodness or god, she HAS to. Or so is the perspective of the narrator. And even if he fails, even if everything goes horribly, at least he has this love. It's his, no one can take that away, even if it is not reciprocated. He's fine with dying for that love, even if it's that love that kills him. To me, that's the most romantic thing in the world. But, perhaps I'm not the best critic for this song, as I can relate just about 100% to the sentiment expressed.
