❣️O DREAM THIEF❣️

How my heart fluttered when you called,  

But I did not answer; affection fades in argument.  

How often you doubted, while my soul longs to be near you,  

And my heart finds joy in the beauty of your love.  

My heart wandered toward you, only to reap sorrow,  

And I see you departing from our shared dwelling.  

Did you think, my love, that I am strong enough?  

The fire of passion in my heart is unbearable.  

I did not arrange my feelings in love,  

The heart yields when emotions are reined in.  

O dream thief, I lived them through my emotions,  

So that hope may thrive within me.  

You neglected my longing, the warmth of my yearning,  

And left me hastily to lament your coldness.  

How I long, my dear, to hear the sweetness of words,  

To be intoxicated by love and flirtation.  

My life and my fate are hostages in your hands;  

I love you, and love is a serious matter.  

My hope for a joyous life is in your love,  

I sought your closeness, and I haven’t lost hope yet.  

Come to me, I long for your embrace,  

I am a woman, and without you, I am incomplete.
