When I’m sad, I think of you
When I’m alone without you
I wish to lie down beneath the starry night with you
When I read about love
When I create a new poem
When the air of melancholy surrounds me, I think of you
I know you are far beyond my reach
Yet, I can see you
I can see your smile, reaches my heart
I can hear your sound of silence, that provokes my thoughts
And quietly
I can feel the sense of love
as it contemplates the image of happiness in my mind
