I once loved a man who could not love me back <br />Not even if he did love me <br />I loved his eyes <br />How they hid behind his glasses <br />I loved how he would say my name <br />in utter frustration <br />When I could not understand him <br />I love how he laughed at me <br />And how he joked <br />And I loved him <br />Though I wouldn’t let it show. <br />He may have loved me back <br />But there’s no way to know. <br />For our love cannot be <br />Though I love him still <br /> <br />And if he reads this now <br />He may even know <br />That I am talking of him. <br />And even if he can tell to me ‘I love you’ <br />He and I both know it cannot be <br /> <br />So as I say this now, <br />to a man that I love <br />A man <br />who can't love me back.... <br />I love you <br />I always have.<br /><br />Face without a name<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-that-can-t-be-2/
