*
You know well—and don’t
lie—
How much I loved you.
I have nothing, for I only
ever had
the great love that I gave
you.
*
They say that longing will
pass,
and never return.
With longing I watched you
leave,
*
For me to be happier,
I don’t know what I would
desire:
Only in suffering can I
have you,
And I suffer if I do not
see you.
*
I’ve heard that the person
who leaves,
Leaves with infinite
loneliness.
But when you left, you left
behind
All the loneliness for me.
