I want to say I love you, one more time,
There is not enough, not one minute,
Nor, one second, more that I can wait.

Beyond which, I need to hear your voice
Repeat it, to me softly, as you are half
Sound asleep,

So soundly not even the wind
And the rustling of the leaves or chimes
Could wake you; till you hear me... |

I whisper it slowly like the cherry blossoms
Melting onto the soft earth, laden with
Colors of a far moment.

It's the sweet smile you let escape, that
tells me it's the mornings you miss most.
