Kayip

Clouds painted in a sad black
These coquettish rainfalls embrace us
My hope diminishes, time passes
Separation is the master, we are its slaves

Your hands withered in my palm
A wounded timid bird
Fluttered away from a love that ended

I wish I could say 'Good luck'
My throat is tight, my words are lost
I will never love anyone again in my lifetime
Because my heart is lost in this body

Angels will descend from white heavens
They will protect you; prayers, wishes
While I, in the distant exile of this love
Drift every day with your longing

We are now an unfinished story, you and I
We walk separate paths
Life is like this...
You now blow like a vagabond wind to distant lands
I will live for years with a faded rose in my chest
If this is living!
We will lie down to separate evenings
And wake up to separate mornings from now on
Mistaking mistakes for love
We console ourselves in other bodies in vain
And secretly we get hurt
Know this always
I keep the most beautiful place in my memory
In my plundered heart garden
With strands of sorrow in my hair
With fading suns in my eyes
I always wait for you in this city
Hoping one day you will return
Take care of yourself, my love!
Take care of yourself, my dearest!
