Be the end negative

If I don’t let you know that I love you,

Where is the pleasure of loving you, dear?

If I don’t get your consent to my love,

What is the use of my loving you, dear?

Even then if I pursue my love for you,

It is my faith in time and my hope in you.

Even if I go with an empty hand,

I shall be thankful for the time I spent.

A game played would not rob the pleasure

Of playing, though with a negative end.
