O dear,
You went away whispering into my ears
that You would come here again.
I told that,
singing songs for You,
I would pass the dark night.
Yet, thereafter how many ages passed?
How many stars set down?
How many tender leaves matured and dropped,
waiting for Your advent?
Why do You forget the promise that You had given?
Why are You unable to listen to the call of my core?
Whatever logic and reasoning You may show,
You cannot forget me.
