548: I loved you...
“I loved you…”
Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin
I loved you, and I probably still do,
And for a while the feeling may remain...
But let my love no longer trouble you,
I do not wish to cause you any pain.
I loved you; and the hopelessness I knew,
The jealousy, the shyness - though in vain -
Made up a love so tender and so true
As may God grant you to be loved again.
Translated from the Russian by Genia Gurarie
Sorry this is so late, spent the entire day at the lake with my new in-laws. Happy 4th of July, Americans.
