I Loved You

I loved you. 
I didn't know it then,
But I know it now.

I had wanted you then. 
Yet I don't want you now,
And I can't have you anyways.

I loved you. 
I still love you,
But I have to move on now.

You're happy now.
That's more than I could wish for,
And one day, I'll be happy too.

I loved you.
Not in love with you, 
But I loved you. 

I actually loved you.
