So it remains, so it must be
That your telltale heart will not speak to me
Silence rules and is icy cold
I am warmed only by the memories that I hold.

Was it for nothing that I met you
After every day was through
And I quelled the sadness in your deep eyes
And spoke of love and summer skies.
And spoke of happiness I wanted to give
If only, if only, you would let love live.

I made it as clear as the morning sun
You are my love, my only one
The one who sets my heart on fire
The inspiration for my desire
The one for whom I'd gladly crash and fall
The one I'd give my everything and all.

Is your answer indeed forever no, and never again
To my plea, "Please be my love and best friend"
Were the kisses we shared all in vain
And that I felt with you your deepest pain

Were the evenings spent in endless talking
Meant for you to end up balking
When the crunch came and the choice was to be made -
Either to love or leave me dismayed.

In spite of making it as clear as the morning sun -
You were my love, my only one
The one who set my heart on fire
The only inspiration for my desire
The one for whom I would gladly crash and fall
And gladly give my everything and all.

So must it be, muss es sein?
I fell on my sword and gave everything of mine
Must it be that silence is your reply?
Till everything good inside me dies?

Shall my evenings now be spent in quiet
Though my heart is in eternal riot
And rages against what fate decides
And rages against what it now must hide

That it is clear as the morning sun -
You remain my love, my only one
The one who set my heart on fire
The only inspiration for my desire
The one for whom I crashed and fell
And now I am in stuck in a kind of hell
Where love does not live, but will not die
Where I must smile though I want to cry
Where I must carry on but live in the past
Where I must give up but hold on to the last.
Where I remain in your thrall
And the only one I'd give everything and all.

Regards, Ivan
