To Love

To see you smile with others
It pains me so
I know I told myself to let you go
But my eyes seem to follow your every move, your every breath

Why do you haunt me so?

My mind tells me to move away
My heart longs for you

If I have to choose
Silence would be my answer

For a heart that aches to love
For a heart that aches because of loving

What mystery the heart of the maiden is
That not a single soul could truly understand

To love is joy
But it is inevitable that pain comes with it.
