I Did Love You

by Anonymous
(Somewhere on Earth)

I did love you
once upon a time
but now I know there was no hope
the idea came to me
when I first saw you
but it has now turned to dust
I did love you
but you crushed it like a rose
a fragile thing so beautiful
and you threw it on the ground
I did love you
and the way you smile
I know you didn't mean to
but you killed that divine love
I did love you
when I walked into that classroom
I saw you and my heart leaped
I believed I had found the one
your sweet nature and personality
the things I smiled about
I did love you
but then I saw your eyes
always smiling and kind
but then I realized that day
that you could never love me
you deserve better
someone more mature, sweeter
not like me
people say I am beautiful
but will that change anything?
