Let me tell you a secret,
One from across the divide:
When I saw you with her that day,
I... I... I don't know how I felt, to be honest;
Confused, maybe,
At first, and sad
Because of the usual, but just for a moment.
And, then, it all changed.

Because there was also another sensation,
One I had never encountered before:
A genuine pleasence.
A warmth overcame me,
And I was surprised that the only cause for this
Was the fact that you were happy.
And to witness this fortune that wasn't my own
Was enough yet for me to abandon my sadness
And delight in the joy that you clearly had found.

But, then, as it is with a mind that is tidal,
At the end of the day,
The sadness returned
Along with the cruelty of my condition:
Forever denied... What now became hers.
To put it more bluntly:
I pitied myself, I sat there, and cried,
And sobbed like a fool,
That nature had built me
In a such a foul way...
That I'll never be what she is to you

Yet, as I compared my grey solitude
To the golden halo of your blissful joy,
That warmth from before
Once more overcame me and stayed in my heart
'Till this very day.

So, let me tell you a secret now:
It's almost like I'm no longer myself
I'm bathed in a wonderful feeling,
For I know that you're happy... And well.
