I loved you, and I probably still do, <br />And for a while the feeling may remain... <br />But let my love no longer trouble you, <br />I do not wish to cause you any pain. <br />I loved you; and the hopelessness I knew, <br />The jealousy, the shyness - though in vain - <br />Made up a love so tender and so true <br />As may God grant you to be loved again. <br /> <br /> <br />Translated by Genia Gurarie, 11/10/95<br /><br />Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-loved-you-2/
