Love So Close

Days and Nights, I searched in vain.
Every step I took, taken in pain.
Yet I feel that all this pain will yield no gain,
My tears keep flowing like heavy rain.
My outward joy, I can no longer maintain,
Will I ever find my Love?

She may be in the valley or on the mountains,
In the deserts or in the forest,
In an hut or in a mansion,
Abroad or here at home,
She may even be closer than I think.
Yet I realize that she is too far away,
Farther than any place my imaginations can reach.
Where will I find my heart’s only thought?

Maybe at night or during the day,
During the cold winter or the hot summer,
On a workday or on a weekend,
When amidst a crowd or when alone,
I may even find her now.
Yet I feel that she is stuck in time,
At a place in time that I cannot reach.
When will I find my heart’s desire?

Now that I have found my one true love,
She erases every doubt in my mind,
She surpasses every expectation I had.
Her smile is brighter than I saw in my dreams,
It relieves me of tension and attracts my attention.
Today with joy, I dare to mention,
I have found the most beautiful flower,
A treasure I will never let go of.
