I Loved You - Poem by Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin
I loved you, and I 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 loved you once. Some of the feeling maybe
Has not completely faded in my soul.
But let it not annoy you any longer,
I don’t wish to make you sad at all.
My love for you was hopeless, it was silent,
Now jealousy, now shyness rousing pain.
It was so tender, and it was so candid,
May grant you God a love like this again. (Report) Reply

With this, I know the women would feel no pain but rather feel the mystery of love. Sometimes, one has to leave a love one, not because he or she does not love the person, but for reasons which one can never explain in plain words. Love is such a mystery.....great poem! (Report) Reply

I loved you once,
perhaps that love has yet,
to die down thoroughly within my soul;
but let it not dismay you any longer,
I have no wish to cause you any sorrow.
I loved you wordlessly,
without a hope,
by shyness tortured,
or by jealousy,
I loved you tenderness and candor,
and pray God grants you to be loved that way again.

This poem is short but speaks of a love is real. (Report) Reply
A love which is not reciprocated can be called true as in I love you truly. But love is only really true when it has been tested in a loving relationship. How many of us have said I love you and then found we did not when the relationship developed? The charm of this poem is in the conditional terms the poet uses when one suspects that the surface indifference he is still in love. (Report) Reply
