I loved you, but fate was never kind,
The weight I bore has left me blind.
The world still turns, the stars still gleam,
Yet you're not here—just a fading dream.
I loved you, but duty came first,
I held the line while you left this earth.
I saved them all, but not the one
Who gave my battle meaning once.
I loved you, but time is cruel,
A hero's crown, a beggar's jewel.
They praise my name, they sing my deeds,
Yet none can hear my heart still bleed.
I loved you, and in the dark I see
A life where you still stand with me.
Where saving one was enough to claim
An ending not built on loss and pain.
But I was never meant to win,
Not in love, not in the end.
I chose the world and paid the cost—
A hero crowned, a lover lost.
I loved you, but love came too late,
Now death and I share the same fate.
And if the world should speak my name,
Let them whisper yours the same.
