You came close to me
after long ages.

I have forgotten my past agony
and the counting of time.

The flowers of those days
long since withered away;
I recall neither their beauty nor their names

In that vast stretch of time,
even stars have fallen from the heavens.

When my heart was overflowing,
brimming with sweet fragrance,
You did not come.
You came instead
when the seat of my heart was vacant.
