Left behind ~ Poetry (Haiku)

There was a time

I loved a girl

I knew she loved me back 

The way I did

Or even more than that.

For the obvious reasons

I couldn’t be hers &

She couldn’t be mine

Like all the other stories

I was left behind. 

   – Tale by a lonely lover.

My first attempt on haiku(not exactly Japanese version but short poetry or free verse).

Much love
