My Mistake...

I’m still at the same place
I’m weary from wandering by your side
Even today, as I was wandering
Day has passed again and again.

Now I’m here
You know that my heart is hurting
Watching you smile makes my heart ache more

It’s my mistake for not making you love me more
It’s my mistake for loving you more than you love me
It’s my mistake for not making you love me as much as I wanted you to.

How much longer must I cry
As I’m trusting that promise, believing that promise
You lied to me to wait for you
Even my greedy side has grown tired

I knew I couldn’t have you
But my love for you just kept growing
It’s my mistake for waiting by myself
Regretting by myself loving you.

Even though my heart was hurting
It’s my mistake for not letting you go
I’m such a fool
I knew I would get hurt and couldn’t let go
it’s my mistake

Even though it could be all my mistake
That’s ok. As long as you’re there always…
Please forgive me for being like this.
Forgive the person who loved you...

Happy Belated Valentine's Day...

That's The Way I Love You...

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,

or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,

in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms

but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;

thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,

risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.



I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.

I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;

so I love you because I know no other way

in which there is no I or you

so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand

so intimate that when you fall asleep it is my eyes that close
