When I loved you,
The sun did not rise until I saw your radiant smile.
Birds could not make music until
I heard your melodious voice.
When I loved you,
I gave you coffee every morning,
Even if you were a continent away.
Your laughter made me happier than anything,
And your happiness was all that I cared for.
But you don’t love me.
You withhold your smile and your voice,
Torment me with silence.
You use me as a toy for amusement.
Play with my heart and my emotions,
Giving me just enough to hope again,
Because “when I loved you”
Is now.
