When I saw You in the frangipani grove,
I found nectar hidden beneath delicate petals.
Why is He so lost in His own thoughts?
My eyes, filled with longing,
sought His gaze in vain.
I walked through dry fallen leaves,
Hoping the sound might
alert You that I had come.
My lamp of hope glowed,
full of sweetness.
I stepped forward slowly and shyly.
I hoped, like fragrance wafting up
from flower petals,
He would lift His gaze and look at me.
