Unrequited Love

I still can\'t forget how I broke the heart of a man
who once loved me like I was his entire world.
I can\'t forget the tears in his eyes,
the trembling in his voice,
the way confusion clouded his face
as he tried to understand my words.

I can\'t forget how my silence and sentences
cut through him like a sharp-edged knife.
I can\'t forget the sorrow in his eyes
as he whispered that his love was wasted.

I can\'t forget the tenderness in his care,
the fierce devotion he offered so freely.
I can\'t forget the way he loved me—
utterly, selflessly, with all his soul
