What do you think this poem is about?

ECLIPSE OF THE HEART

You loved me so much
more than i love myself.

And sometimes I wonder
If I'm really worth it
All the pain I cause you.
The tears I bring to your
eyes
The nights I slept out
The days I always made boring.

The fights I start
The flirting I never stop
And of cause
The helping hand I never
lend.

I wonder if I could ever
repay you for all you have
been to me.
I wouldn't forget that
you gave me everything.

I can't forget the smell
of your skin
I can't forget the scent
of your hair
I can't forget the taste
of your lips
I can't forget the steps
to your door
And certainly
I can't forget you.
