This single love poem by Yusuf Ramon narrates a short tale of one-sided love. The poem is a sad one since one of the characters is left heartbroken and disappointed at the end.
The poem also looks to correct the misconception people have when others are only being nice towards them. I hope you enjoy it.
When Was I Your Man By Ramon Yusuf
When You smiled, I smiled
I showed empathy as a human
You think I have fallen for you
Whereas I was only being nice
I thought we were friends
I will love to keep it so
Taking things to another level
Might mark the dawn of trouble
I know it hurts
To be ignored by whom one loves
But a relationship should be mutual
To ensure it lasts forever
You have to let go
You have to release me
You have to forgive me
And free me from this bondage
Do not say I hurt you
Do not portray me as a bad person
Because the last time I checked
I could not figure out
When I became your man
