I loved you,
I loved you until the inner parts of my soul ached,
I loved you with the sight of a blind man,
I loved you through the darkness of loneliness.
I loved you in the belittlement of my pride,
I loved you so, that I walked through the fire of humiliation and endured the lashes of wagging tongues.
I loved you through the tears I cried when you silently said goodbye
I guess, I will always love you, until the flowers placed upon me, wither away in the wind.
