Lover Alone Without Love

Well painted passion
You rightly suspect
Impersonation
The dumbing down of love
Jaded in anger
Love underwhelms you
No box of chocolates
Whichever way you fall

No, no I'll get this
I want to treat you
You're still not famous
And you haven't struck it rich
Underachieving
'Cause no one's receiving
This tunnel vision
It's turning out all wrong

And if I tell you
Lover alone without love
What will happen
Lover alone without love
Will you miss him?
Lover alone without, without love

This is simply beautiful. It truly shows the concept of loving alone. The choice of using the glass vase with the red heart is a perfect way of showing how one loves alone. The lighting is well done and I love how you chose to focus on the vase more than the girl. The vase focuses on how love is away from the lover. The girl looks as if she is longing for something, like a lover looking for love, even though you can't see her facial expression. I also like how you used white colored hues in the background. It really makes the red on the ribbon and the heart pop. Overall, great job!
