I LOVED YOU - by Alexander Pushkin

I  LOVED  YOU by  Alexander 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.
