This orphaned love

I have been a witness to this love alone for far too long
There is no one in this world that wants it
I tell it that me leaving it will not hurt
But it is afraid
I feel its vertigo but I lie that everything will be alright
For truly, I do not know that it will
But I am going to be selfish and think only about myself
Just as she did when she left this love
We will have abandoned this love together
This orphaned love
This foolishly naive love
That still hopes beyond reason
That still thinks a better tomorrow will come

I have been a witness to this love alone for far too long  
There is no one in this world that wants it  
I tell it that me leaving it will not hurt  
But it is afraid  
I feel its vertigo but I lie that everything will be alright  
For truly, I do not know that it will  
But I am going to be selfish and think only about myself  
Just as she did when she left this love  
We will have abandoned this love together  
This orphaned love  
This foolishly naive love  
That still hopes beyond reason  
That still thinks a better tomorrow will come
