My darling heart: what is love if you are not here with me?
My flesh feels numb--detach from the soul;
I am like a floating lifeless spirit,
I miss the warmth of your mouth;
sharing joy and pleasure.
Hurry!
Bring back laughter to my heart,
For my face cannot smile--without the goodness of you;
The years of not seeing you seems forever,
And I wonder will your heart be good to me?
as we were then---your serenest made I complete.
My soul weeps,
And my eyes are blinded,
by the absence of your presence;
The crown upon my head that tells splendor,
I hid in black;
As I keep our memory alive of our youth.
Will you know me, my love?
If you are not here, my sorrows will not end,
Come quickly---to hold my heart!
You must find me---before my light cease!
For I want to kiss love,
I want to kiss love,
I want to kiss love once again!
