“I loved you…”

by Alexander Pushkin

I loved you, and 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.

I'm a retired journalist who still has stories to tell. This seems to be a good place to tell them.
