Cups of Jade
Author unknown
Where the lotus pool
Is fragrant with flowers,
We drank our last farewell
From cups of jade.
You thought I shunned you
When I, quickly turning,
Hid my face from you,
And would not look again.
Ah!
Being but a man,
How could you know, beloved,
That it was to wipe
The scalding tears away?
~The really neat thing about this poem is that it was written in the Tang Dynasty. But it still makes sense today. I fell in love with it the first time I read it.

Awesome poem and yes, very relevant! :)
Wow, that is great! Just goes to show that men and women haven't really changed much in all these years. Men are still mostly oblivious. ;-)
