Cara
Cara, I'll love you from afar.
I'll love you from here.
Cara, don't you worry,
my love is fierce enough to reach you.
It'll melt away the Igloo house built around your soul.
As the hatred melts away,
I want a fire to be born within you.
Cara, it must burn just as fiercely as mine.
Maybe even more.
But it isn't me that you love,
and that's okay.
My job is just to love you,
you do not need to love me back.
And because of that,
I'll walk away. Further and further away from you.
But rest assured, the fire still burns.
And the love you feel will scath you.
By the time you look up, Cara, I'll be gone.
Ill be gone but the fire will still be lit.
Cara in Italian means beloved. I find myself riding on other languages sometimes... :)
