To Be In Love with You (A Platonic Love)

To be in love with you
is a misery.
I know, my dear
Still I love you from the core of my heart.

To be in love with you
is being stupid.
I know, my dear
Still I love you from the core of my heart.

To be in love with you
is a feeling.
That eats me day and night
Still I love you from the core of my heart.

To be in love with you
is a taboo.

I know, my dear
Still I love you from the core of my heart.

Someday, you will come to know
of my feelings for you
and you may reject me altogether.
I know, my dear
Still I love you from the core of my heart.

To be in love with you
is a bliss for me
Even if it is one-sided
Never mind, even if you never reciprocate
Just let me live, forever
With my feelings for you, my dearest.
