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

(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
