Love is said to be complicated,
But what about when it's not even returned?
Hidden desires and camisole hearts
When reciprocity is only a dream,
And our hope a banal lie

Feelings that consume and eat away at you 
But you can't express them
Someone has beaten you to it
Your heart crushed, its beats stolen
Your eyes drowned, your mouth gaped
The object of your lust was never yours and never would have been
Yet to see it in other hands hits harder than desired

What to do? Where to go? Everything seems to be affected by gloom
From the pain you try to escape
Your love you try to ignore
But can you? Or do you feed on illusions?

For now, all must remain silent
Act well, you must rejoice for the two chosen ones
Even if you suffer more and more at the sight of them

How many tears have I shed just thinking of what I won't have?
That this person alone will be the one you think of when you fall asleep, when you wake up, when you dream

You don't know what it's like for me, and you probably never will
But even if you did, in the end nothing would change
How every morning, reality comes and drowns me deeper and deeper
How every second my being thinks only of your name
But yours is not
How every time the only person I look for among all is you
But I know you don't look at me
I know, because my eyes rest on you far too often
How I flinch when I hear your voice
That even if I'm hurt, your presence alone will make me forget
How painfully I feel the walls of my heart contract
When I see you with that other who will never be me

But what choices do I have?
No matter which way, my person will suffer
In silence of course, I must keep a low profile
Sadness or jealousy, I don't know which will dominate me
Maybe there will come a day when everything will crack
I don't know
For now I'm held captive in my sorrow
And I don't know who will save me from it

One part of me can't imagine leaving you,
But the other would so love to hate you
Simply because it would be easier
But it's impossible
Because I simply love you with an unspeakable love
And I know that moving on will not be easy
But I have to, and forget all romance
And cry my eyes out on my island
