For You, My Love
I have not counted the years
as they have disappeared into each other like clouds.
Nor have I longed for your deep kisses
as they fill my soul with you.
Nor dreamed of a path that leads me to you.
I have not cried until my heart has hurt for you,
Nor looked into the bluest eyes that are yours,
and wished I was the beauty in them.
I have not, my love.
I have not wished to be the thought
that rises in your mind, engulfing you in me.
At times when you were on the other side of the world,
I have not asked God to put me near you,
Nor prayed for a small bit of light in the darkness
that can be me without you.
I have not saved your memory like a precious jewel,
Nor asked the rain to wash me of you.
With longing for me you come to me now.
Belonging to another...
You want to be a part of me,
like our secret that is honey on my lips.
