Dost Thou Love Me Still?

Dost thou love me still, my sweet?
For in thine eyes I have seen
The same regret that hath been haunting me.
How long hath it been
Since thy heart and mine have separated?
Thou sayest to me
That only a moon hath passed since that day.
But for me it seems like an eternity.

The days pass,
and I feel a somewhat emptiness inside of me
Without thy presence.
The thought of thee
Has encumbered the very moments of my life.
These thoughts have made my existence
An ever more sorrowful one.
The guilt of having to keep my love for thee a secret,
Or of having to conceal the truth of every kiss,
Has been troubling my dreams as I slept every night.

I saw thee once again earlier this morning.
I tried to hide the emotions I had
As I saw thee for another time
As the light that lit my way out of the dark abyss
From whence I have been kept.
And so I asked in a whimpering voice
as if addressing the wind,
"Dost thou love me still, my sweet?
Where art thou,
The one who has shown me how to love?"

Thou did not hear the words that I uttered,
But as thee caught a glimpse of me,
The expression in thy eyes changed into rage.
Why dost thou look upon me
As if I was an unwanted foe?

Dost thou love me still?
For I feel that I still love thee.
