Light as many as you can.

I love you

for a long time.

You don’t know

how long I love.

you don’t know

how best I love

or for that

whether I love at all. (I love)

You may love

or may not.

If you love

I can outlive.

If not so

I will short live.

Can you lift

your veil to see? (You may)

Be a flame

of a candle.

You can spark

many candles.

You won’t die

by doing so.

Again and again,

Love can ignite love. (Be a flame)

I love you

for a long time.

Be a flame

to light my wick

in addition

to your own.

The more you are

illuminated,

The more you illuminate. (I love)
