Feelings towards one that can no longer return them.
I never did imagine that your spirit
could be so desolate within.
Do you honestly feel this way deep inside,
to let our love come to an end?

To let our light go out
would be the greatest sin.
To let this fire die,
ne’er feel its warmth again.

If this is what’s in your heart without a doubt,
then I know now what I must do:
end my life as you’ve doused our mutual flame
of love to show you I am true.

I will give unto you
what you’ve taken from me:
lives of love, lives complete,
the way it’s meant to be.

If my sacrifice brings to you be with me,
then I know it is not in vain;
but if your sentiments still remain unstirred,
then at least I won’t bear the pain.
