	My thought is borrowed from a folksong, The Wee Lass on the Brae. 
This fellow falls for a girl, and between her many admirers, and his 
family obligations, he despairs and curses her, "May she never marry, 
but think of me still". It seems the curse rebounds and he ends up 
wishing her well, but unable to forget her. It could fit, no?
