Alas my love you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously;
And I have loved you oh so long
Delighting in your company.

Once you have fallen in love with someone, whether they feel the same or not, it’s impossible not to be in the need of grant whatever that person wants. As long as you are caught by the love’s claws you do everything your beloved is able to ask for.

Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves my heart of gold
Greensleeves was my heart of joy
And who but my Lady Greensleeves.
But never be so silly to betray your beliefs as you try to buy the world for that special one.

I have been ready at your hand
To grant whatever thou would'st crave;
I have waged both life and land
Your love and goodwill for to have.

When that person is around you, there is also some warmth running through your entire body and it would be very strange you actually don’t think you are getting crazy.
The real troubles begin once your dear doesn’t just come closer to you, but looks at you and eventually touches you. Perhaps, there’s no loving feeling, but just friendship or simple care. However, your blood is boiling.

Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
Greensleeves was my heart of joy
And who but my Lady Greensleeves.

What a problem is the jealousy! Is there something more terrible than the will of hurting somebody else because of love? Probably not, but there is nothing more common to the human either.

Thy petticoat of sendle white
With gold embroidered gorgeously;
Thy petticoat of silk and white
And these I bought thee gladly.

And finally, when time has settled down your feelings and distance has turned you into an ice-hearted-being, you realize that beloved person is deeply in love with you.
Otherwise, you will remember them until your last breath.

Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves my heart of gold
Greensleeves was my heart of joy
And who but my Lady Greensleeves.

To my dearest.
