This is about the state of heart,
Like when I feel Koi No Yokan and I just know that this is real.
Perhaps it will last this time?
In the past, I have experienced nothing but Saudade and La Douleur Exquise.
Unrequited love? That doesn't even get to the heart of it.
Every time I see him, it's as if I'm experiencing Retrouvailles all over again.
Finally, I, the Ilunga, gave up, but something about this time
Makes me incredibly willing
To let pain through my doors again.
Is it love?
Is it lust?
All I really want is for a Cafuné
And butterflies from our Mamihlapinatapei when I desperately want to kiss him.
Maybe it was a Yuanfen
Or God's intervention.
Maybe one day I will tell him, "Ya'aburnee"
Or perhaps one day he will tell that to me.
All I really know, is that this euphoria is explained through one simple word:
Forelsket.
I found this website on stumbleupon (http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1mtae3/www.psychologytoday.com/blog/marriage-30/201202/the-top-10-relationship-words-arent-translatable-english/) and slowly but surely I am and will be experimenting with various languages in my poetry! If I don't use the words correctly, I'm sorry... I don't speak arabic, chinese, japanese, portugese, etc...
