All of a Sudden...
My love for you knows no conditions.
Whatever you were, whatever you’ll be.
I even accept the propositions
That you will never, could never, love me.
Please forgive me if I now seem depressed.
And do not let these words affect you.
For all my madness is a love repressed,
I can not tell you, but it continues.
My pain, to know your out there somewhere
and that to another, your love, you will give.
What could I have that could at all compare
to the life you seek or the way you live.
All of a sudden there is no pleasure.
Just the pain. The abyss. The failure.
