Adventures of your century love

So I may have to give you up.

I will give you up

Unless you tell me how you want to be with me.

 

If lovers need not be together to love each other then Together transformed into truth and luck

And I would give you up

Perhaps say, do not ever take him away.

 

My love, I want to say (Can I say) don't roam so far away from me

A moment without you is a year to drag aching shoulders with long fingernails

A sleepy guest unwelcomed after midnight, that is your goodbye.

 

Because, you are part of the forgotten voyages made of strawberry seas and orange trees

But I have to give you up like how trees give freely our breathing.

 

What was given, returns and arrives in your speak drifting, steps gliding, search farwinding, slow stroll, such is your gaze.

The way you have lingered is mine, how you looked at me is also mine.

Tears you gave me are diamonds that fell lost deep under the earth nobody else knows where to find.

 

Time for you to seek a love like mine, the seeking of an adventure.

An old fashioned romance historian love

Rivalling of an old century over the millenium.

Only you (in this moment) know my contribution to this world that which is only you.
