Conditional

It’s only because I am madly in love with her

        That I have to 

                Let her go. 

It’s only because I want to her to grow

     That I have to

            Go.

It’s only because I am the poison

       That I have to

           Remove myself.

To do the right thing here requires sacrificing love

     And to be loved like this was all I ever wanted . . .

     It’s because she is my soulmate 

      That I have to change our fate

But, oh how I ache

     Oh how I ache

       Without her

   This hurts

      What is love worth? . . . What is love worth?

It turns out,

   Love was always

Conditional,

And the condition is,

Whatever is best for her. 

And I only want what's best for her,

because my love is true.
