“But You Didn’t” Poem Translated & Illustrated by Chinese Netizen

The #1 hottest microblog post of the day yesterday on China’s Sina Weibo social network…

From Sina Weibo:

@肥啾榭一: Someone once said that the greatest hurt to a woman is not you falling in love with someone else but disappointing her when she has expectations of you. “But You Didn’t”, a poem I saw on the internet, is one I’ve been wanting to draw into a comic/cartoon strip and after staying up all night, I’ve finally managed to do it! As a late Valentine’s Day gift, I post it onto Weibo! TAT
