BETRAYED IN LOVE

BETRAYED IN LOVE


Has she betrayed me in love?
Or, just away she has swayed?
I don’t know but why should I
By her conduct be dismayed?

That she just could not love me,
Why should I hold against her?
She is independent, too,
Why can’t she, from me, differ?

Essence of love is but this:
Have, for each other, respect;
Don’t question other’s judgment,
Other’s motives, don’t suspect.

Though my friends often tell me
That in love I am betrayed,
I within my heart believe
She has from me only swayed.
