"Can't I Love You?"

Melancholy bristles. Enjoy.

Even though it wrenches me with pain, I can't feel it
Even if I'm waiting for you in vain
Even though I think of you with quivering hands, I can't feel it

Since the day I placed You in my mind
There is no room for anyone else in my heart.
Even if it hurts and shatters me, I will open my heart to You.

I was living in a lonely world when you came along.
You're the only one who can make me smile.

Can't I love You? Can You come to Me?
Just for once, can You hug me in Your arms?
You're the only one I love
Can You accept my fragile heart?

The reason I'm still breathing amongst this terrible loneliness
Is You

Can't I love You? Can You come to me?
Once again, can You hug me in Your arms?
You're the only one I love
You're the first and the last.

Tangible as you are, you can't be held in my arms
For You've forsaken me.

Can't I love You? Even if I'm just trailing behind You,
I am content to look at you from afar.
Even if I can only protect you in the shadows
Even like this, it's all right...
Even if I can only love you in this manner, it's good enough.
