I love you, but I do not love you;

That’s what my mind tells me

As I try to free you from the confines of my heart.

My heart screams at me to release you;

Alas I can not; Rosella-girl

Threatening to make my heart your nest.

Your eyes, so beautiful, stealing me from reality.

Your smile, so warm, so deceptive.

(Such a cliche love I have for you.)

The battle between my heart and head,

Choice after choice I must make.

The endless road that I must tread...

So many forks and turns,

Careful to keep moving forward toward the new moon.

I love you, I have no doubt.

But I have another love as well,

A love of head and heart.

So I will keep you caged Rosella-girl

To chase after my other love.

I will return, so please wait for me.

If not, then know

I love you, I always have.
