I love you
Are you on my mind?
Or is my mind on you?
You’d think I’d forget
Feel shame and regret
Instead, I still love you
I excuse all your wrongs
I sing you love songs
Ones you’ll never hear
Because you’re not here
And still, I love you
It makes no sense
This love so intense
Yet so unrequited
Love so uninvited
But still, it’s for you.
About this poem
