we were meant to be,
we made a pledge of love
under the fullness of the moon
the North Star is our witness
we got separated
Fate has its reasons
we do not know
how it happened
how could i love you
and yet decide to leave and love another?
how could i betray you
and marry another one instead?
Fate has its reasons
I do not know how it happened.
All i know is this: You will be happier
If it were not me.
I have less and i cannot give you more.
I have loved you more and cannot afford to give you less.
You deserve to be happy. I don't.
Forget me then for I have hurt you.
