I Could Forget You.

I thought I could forget you

In the soft night sleep alone

I did not know in my plainness

I would stir with every gust of wind

The faint fluctuation of your hand

sense over my sleepy neckline

The fire burning in my heart

cooled by the starlight of the Milkyway

Our lives a poem in which lonely

expression of our separation shines

The joy flowing back into uneasiness

Immersed in our detachment
