She loved him so much
more than life itself.
She also knew
in her heart of hearts
he did not love her at all.

It was no big surprise
when the door clicked
in the early morning light.
and he was gone forever.

She wept of course
for weeks the pain continued.
Then at last she realized
he was the big loser here.

after all.

She had only lost someone
who did not love her.
He on the other hand
had lost a woman
who loved him with
all of her heart.
