I love you, but you love her.
I still remember what we were.
I still cherish what we used to be.
I still remember when you loved me.
I need you, but you need her.
She's the one you prefer.
She's the one you hold dear.
She's the one I wish would disappear.
I want you, but you want her.
Can't believe you're with another.
Can't believe we are through.
Can't believe you've found someone new.
Now that all is said,
Now that all is done,
You're with her instead.
Good for her, she's won.
Left Behind: A Poem About Unrequited Love
Thanks so much for this poem! This is a repeatedly tantalizing experience so frequently occurring to lovers in the world; you love someone who usually loves someone else and pays not much...
You Love Her
