Iam not good with finding what a poem is really about so can anyone me find the meaning of this one?

i think its a girl denying her love for someone else

i do not love thee

by caroline elizabeth sarah norton
i do not love thee! —no! i do not love thee!
and yet when thou art absent i am sad;
and envy even the bright blue sky above thee,
whose quiet stars may see thee and be glad.

i do not love thee! —yet, i know not why,
whate’er thou dost seems still well done, to me:
and often in my solitude i sigh
that those i do love are not more like thee!

i do not love thee! —yet, when thou art gone,
i hate the sound (though those who speak be dear)
which breaks the lingering echo of the tone
thy voice of music leaves upon my ear.

i do not love thee! —yet thy speaking eyes,
with their deep, bright, and most expressive blue,
between me and the midnight heaven arise,
oftener than any eyes i ever knew.

i know i do not love thee! yet, alas!
others will scarcely trust my candid heart;
and oft i catch them smiling as they pass,
because they see me gazing where thou art.
