I
loved you, but I could not wait forever.
I made my choice, but you would not make
yours. In some delays, a year�s as good as
never, As what is lost no change of heart
restores. I love you still, but cannot think of
you Without the bitter longing of
regret. This, too, will pass, I know, and time
renew The innocence one needs to love, and yet . .
. You were my once, that never comes
again, A happiness untouched by any
past. Whatever love comes next comes with the
stain Of knowing well this love might well not
last. Goodbye, my love! I hope someday you�ll
be Ripe for the love you could have had from
me. |
