Shivering, almost beginning to cry,
I now sit alone hidden at night...
Hoping these words won't get to fly,
I write this poem out of your sight.

The time I feared has finally come.
As I find myself with another,
Terror strikes towards my heart...
My mind is now nearly crumbled.

I cannot bear this thought...
To know that someone loves me.
All I care for, is you,
But a companion, I can never be..

I can think of so many...
All my qualities and thousands more!
Yet -I- have been chosen by you,
I, a simple man among all.

I don't know how to make you happy,
I'm not capable of such a thing.
And as jealous as I would be,
Why weren't you chosen by another being?

My goal has always been,
To make you the happiest person.
A goal now impossible to achieve,
Knowing there could have been better.

These thoughts will never leave me,
The thoughts I've always been fearing...
Now they're here to haunt me,
But, I knew it from the beginning.

I always long to see you again,
I always want to hear your sweet voice,
But now I live with this burden.
I had to choose and made my ultimate choice.

But a choice I'd always make,
The one to always be with you,
And this choice, I'll never regret...
Gelf.... I love you.
