I love you because I love you,
Because it would be impossible
For me not to love you.
I love you without question,
Without calculation,
Without reason good or bad,
Faithfully with all my
Heart and soul, and every faculty.
Believe it, for it is true.
If you cannot believe it,
I am at your side,
I will make a drastic effort
To force you to do so.
I am interested in you.
All of you. Your sad eyes,
Your soft smiles, your tears,
Your courage, and your worries.
I am at your side now,
And I will be at your side
Until you tell me to leave.
I do not need anyone to
Tell me who is the mate for me.
You are mine and I will take
Every moment with you as a gift.
My heart is for you and you alone.
And you accept it or not
This is how it will work for me.
You teach me now how cruel
You've been? cruel and false.
Why did you despise me?
Why did you betray your own heart?
I have not one word of comfort.
You deserve this. You have killed yourself.
Yes, you may kiss me, and cry;
And wring out my kisses and tears:
They'll rot you, they'll damn you.
You loved me.
What right had you to leave me?
What right? answer me?
For the sake of money and comfort?
Because misery, degradation, and death,
And nothing that God or Satan
Could inflict would have parted us,
You, of your own will, did it.
I have not broken your heart
You have broken it; and in breaking it,
You have broken mine.
So much worse for me that I am strong.
Do I want to live?
What kind of living will it be
Without you? Oh, God!
Would you like to lie with
Your soul in the grave?
You are an obsession, I cannot sleep.
I am your possession unopened at your feet.
There's no balance, no equality
Be still, I will not accept defeat.
I will have you. Yes, I will have you.
I will find a way and I will have you.
Like a butterfly, a wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you.
You are an obsession.
You're my obsession.
Who do you want me to be,
To make you fall for me?
I feed you, I drink you
My day and my night.
I need you, I need you
By sun or candlelight.
You protest you want to leave, Stay.
Oh, there's no alternative.
Your face appears again
I see the beauty there.
But I see danger, stranger beware.
A circumstance in your naked dreams
Your affection is not what it seems.
My fantasy has turned to madness.
And all my goodness
Has turned to badness.
My need to possess you
Has consumed my soul.
My life is trembling
I have no control.
I will have you. Yes, I will have you.
I will find a way and I will have you.
Like a butterfly, a wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you.
