Have to leave you now, my "adored,"
Feel too young to be a widow,
To bury passion within my heart,
And imprison my love behind closed doors!

Day after day, I've waited for you,
Tears have dampened lonely pillows...
Just to hear you making fun of love and marriage,
Just to see you depart encore!...

I wondered if I loved the right one,
Kept trying and giving more chances.
But I am now tired of gambling,
Tired of the run!...

It breaks my heart to walk away.
(I have been crying every day.)
But it would break my heart slowly,
If I stay.

I would like to die at once,
And come back to life newly born!
But nothing is so easy,
And far away is the reincarnation.

So I work, sleep and keep praying,
Share the pain in my writing,
Give my love to my people, who need it,
Give my time to these lost children.

And hope time will heal, and I'll forget you,
And like everything, love comes and goes.
I'll find someone who returns my love,
Someone, who'd like your place in my soul...
