Goodbyes make you think. Even now I may confess

Even now I may confess

~Alexander Pushkin~

I loved you; even now I may confess,
Some embers of my love their fire retain,
But do not let it cause you more distress,

With pangs the jealous and the timid know;
So tenderly I loved you, so sincerely,
I pray God grant another love you so.
