JUST BECAUSE I LOVED YOU

Just because I loved you,
God allowed suffering to visit you,
And challenges to constantly prod you.

Just because I loved you,
God put us distant from each other,
And communication disturbed each of us.

Just because I loved you,
Tribulations overwhelmed you,
And time caught up with you.

Just because I loved you,
The weight of responsibility blinded me,
And you felt that I existed no more.

Just because I loved you,
You chose another man to marry you,
Yet I was ready to marry you.

Just because I loved you,
I listened to the tone of your voice,
It sounded like the pain of a divorce,
When I heard the voice of your frustration,
I gazed at the eyes of your denunciation

Just because I loved you,
I noted your point of despondency,
At the feebleness of your pulse,
The retreating throb of your heartbeat,
And when I listened to your breath,
I knew that your love is no more!
