he loved her
but never promised her
of his love
as he knew
how much deeply
she is in love
with him
and also he knew
he won't be able
to protect his promise
so he never took
the risk of telling her
how much he loves her

in this way
he says that
she will be less hurt,
if she gets to know
that he too loves her
she won't move on
and make her
own beautiful life

"let her be happy
without my love"
were his last words
for her innocent love
while
"i will always
cherish the love
i have for him"
were her last words
for his unknown love
