"At that time, the night grew late

I still remember us releasing our longing for each other

time seemed non-existent behind the door of your house

when you embraced me in the dim night

the pouring rain seemed barely audible

even though your shadow now blends with the embrace

you whispered longing to anchor the lost love once more

I remember your breath still lingering and merging in my chest

until your scent is still smelled even though the moon and stars are spread so far

you offered again a long endless road accompanied by thorny roses

as if you were giving a sign of the sweetness of your promise

your gaze at that time was like an arrow

that you shot into my heart

burning beautifully

you sow seeds

graceful your soul

so passionate you are

as if you reign over my imagination

I can no longer let go of your shadow

until it stings my veins

and gets lost in the fragrance of your hair

in this abode you try to sink longing again

crossing the cold of time

passing the heat of love

I chase and chase wherever that desire goes

I welcome again the sweetness of your lips like lightning striking the earth

don’t you remember that time

we grew late

immersed in our longing

when your breath got lost in my mind

I can’t imagine how sweet it was

Recalling the time we were once together in an embrace

remembering when each of your desires blended in a tight hand grip

your fingers are still as soft as usual

gently stroking my hair until it wets the dry soul

its trace remains and never disappears

even though I wash it with burning fire

you gaze into these eyes and wet my soul with desire

which feels old and faded after your long departure

now...

you are back again

without a sign of love

Until my heart keeps beating like war drums

the thrill of your presence shakes my chest

but just a fleeting moment of your presence in a little time

like passing the fragrance served along each breath

at that time you laughed in an embrace

your sweetness I still remember like the last time we met

telling each other love stories

without us knowing

we are not lovers!

in love!!

my dear

we are not in love anymore

there will be no more caresses and whispers

remember your lover far away there

waiting while covered in your shadow

better we just stop

dear...

forget all the nostalgic memories!

stop every sweat that has flowed profusely

that has wetted our night

now we are just friends

because we are too far apart

and there is no bond of love

I admit you are indeed beautiful

your beautiful hair can hypnotize my heart

charming, permeating into the bloodstream

until drowning this body in the ocean of your breath

Don't get me wrong!

let go of your embrace

I just want to meet

not to release lust!"
