Tajna moja

I saw your face like an icon,
gentle, close, distant.
My first platonic
love pure as a tear.
Now that I've grown up
I realize who you are.
I came back, my secret,
following a star to call you.
Nothing has changed,
whispers the poplar.
It's dark, my secret,
and in the soul, lanterns light up.
Everything I had promised
to sing to you under the eaves.
Are you still alone,
do you yearn,
do you feel the same?
I have to reach
all the heights of the world
to still uncover
what you mean to me.
