he wondered if you cared.
he wondered if you noticed.
he wondered about you.

he gave you all,
he poured out everything for you.

i told him that
he was foolish,
foolish to give and give
until he was damn near empty.

but he didn't stop.

he didn't expect anything
in return,
but i can bet that he
wanted something
in return.

did he love you?
        (i never considered it to be love.)
did you love him back?
        (i don't know.)
and really,
i don't care if you did
or if you didn't.

what i do care is that
he cried a
sweater of tears for you
and he drowned in it.
