ALFREDO
For more than a year.
One happy day

You flashed lightly into my life;
And since then I've lived
In tremulous possession

Of that unspoken love,
The pulse of the whole world,
Mysterious, unattainable,

The torment and delight of my heart...

VIOLETTA

If that is true, then leave me.
Friendship is all I can offer you.
I don't know how to love,

I couldn't feel so great an emotion.
I'm being honest with you?
You should look for someone else,

Then you wouldn't find it hard
To forget me...
