I
Love You
If
I could just look into your eyes
And
know, for once,
That
you'd be there for me
Had
I been born for your sake
To
love you, and then,
Have
a broken heart again
If
we were born only to meet
--and
to part--
Is
that not too tragic?
Sometimes
you wander too far away from me
And
I'd know nothing but pain
Maybe
you did not know anything
About
the truth of heart-- But
That's
Okay, because I had
Denied
you before
Yet
all I had to do is
Lose
myself in your eyes
And
I know I cannot deny anymore.
Because
I loved you so.
Even
if you don't--
That's
Okay.
Had
I been born for your sake
To
love you, and then,
Have
a broken heart again
If
we were born only to meet
--and
to part--
Is
that not too tragic?
Yet
I never knew about you.
And
I thought I knew you.
All
I knew was I was born for you.
If
it must be tragic, let it be.
That's
okay, for me, I guess...
It
would be okay if my heart died.
It
would not hurt anymore
--would
it?--
Yet
it is too tragic for me.
It
would be nice for a
Fairy
tale ending
That
says "and they lived happily ever after".
But
would anyone live happily ever after?
The
bad was punished and the good rejoiced.
If
desire was bad --what am I?
Yet
all I know is that I love you
With
all my heart.
If
I could see your smile again...
If
we were born to meet and to part
It'd
be too tragic.
You
were the only one I ever truly loved.
But
what can I do on one's will?
Love
can't take flight with a lone wing.
But
I cannot do anything about it.
It
is only the present that I can feel now.
It
is only the present that I know.
And
I know I love you from the deepest depths of my heart.
....................If it must be tragic, let it be.
