Love me by that glow, love me
By not loving me, love me only
When you're not doing so,
     And I'd stop loving you day by day.

Do not bargain for that kiss.
Do not count the times,
Nor the ways that lead to it.
Do not hide behind your lips, your curves.
     Be that light risen from you,
          Do not be the shadow.

Don't even tell me that your love
Is something that you carry, nor
     It is the Moon that changes over time,
For it would break me, knowing
That you have lost it,
     For it would change me over time.

My love, know
That what I ask of you
Is love. So please
Be that love,
     Please...*

          Just be You.
