Being alone will be beautiful,
Although, so would have been being with you.
In life we must work to win,
But in the process, we still lose.

I'm afraid it's all about compromise,
And learning to live without.
In order for us to live happily,
We must look to another route.

We choose the best possible means,
To the best of all possible ends.
So that our hearts might not be broken,
But, rather, taught to bend.
