For Love
A Heart's Battle: Yearning, Doubt, and Hope in Andrea Vimercati's Melody
Lyrics
Every week I wait to see my dear one
Anticipation builds weekly to meet someone beloved.
I'm never bold but I can't help but be now
Usually reserved, feeling compelled to be more forward now.
It's set in stone that I just ought to be with her
Feeling destined or obliged to be with the person.
It seems strange but I won't hold back tonight
Unusual behavior tonight, not restraining emotions.
In every moment even during the night I keep on wondering all the time
Constantly pondering, even during the night, about expressing emotions.
About expressing all my feelings to her, will I lose it again now?
Concern about losing the opportunity to express feelings again.
And I'm hoping that she's feeling the same so hard it's making me sick,
Hopeful that the person feels the same, causing significant stress.
Though
Despite stress, acknowledging the feeling is intense.
It is an illness that I'm happy to fight when I'm grieving for love
Willingness to endure emotional turmoil for the sake of love.
Seven days, seven nights, questioning
Seven days and nights spent in contemplation.
Do I lose my way, do I waste my time by daydreaming?
Concern about wasting time by daydreaming and losing direction.
I must go on, I need her love, I'm a ditherer
Feeling indecisive but determined to pursue the love needed.
I'm feeling like a prisoner for love
Sense of being confined or constrained due to love.
In every moment even during the night I keep on wondering all the time
Continued pondering about expressing emotions, fearing losing the chance.
About expressing all my feelings to her, will I lose it again now?
Hoping for mutual feelings but experiencing overwhelming stress.
And I'm hoping that she's feeling the same so hard it's making me sick,
Acknowledging the intensity of the emotional turmoil despite its difficulty.
Though
Acceptance of enduring emotional struggles for the sake of love.
It is an illness that I'm happy to fight when I'm aching for love
Willingness to be resilient despite the potential breakdown.
Trying to be tough can break you down
Recognizing that toughness can lead to emotional breakdown.
Can you feel it in your soul?
Questioning if the person feels the emotional connection deeply.
You can ask me how's my life without you
Inviting questions about life without the person.
So you can try, so long
Preparing for potential separation or departure.
You can have the many things that I left in our moments of delight
Allowing the person to keep things from shared happy moments.
And you can name me everything that you seek and everything wouldn't
Knowing that fulfilling all desires may still not be sufficient.
Be enough
Desiring comfort during fearful times but noting lack of commitment.
You wanna hold me when you're fearing the night but you're not so
Desiring a stress-free victory in love, acknowledging its complexity.
Committed, no
Repetition emphasizing actions and decisions made "For love."
You wanna win with no stress in your life and that's a little bit wrong
-For love

-For love
-For love
-For love
-For love
-For love
-For love
Final reinforcement of actions driven by love.
