True Love
I was once
So mesmerized
By you
That you become
My conversation.
I could not get enough
Words in the air
About you.
But now my conversation
Is not so overstuffed
With endless references
To everything you do.
I do not talk of you
In that old way.
And why
Should I
Who love you so
Talk love you so
Talk little now
Of you?
Because, my sweet,
When love is true
It has no need of words.
It is only in the silences
That love like ours
Is heard.
真愛
我曾經一度
被你催眠了
以致於你變成了
我全部的話題。
我沒有足夠的
字眼兒來形容你。
但現在我的話題
並不只限於
有關你所做的任何事。
我不再用那老方式
來談及你了。
然而,我是這樣地喜歡你
為什麼現在卻很少談及你呢?
因為,我的愛,
當愛是真愛的時候
它便不需要甜言蜜語了。
它只是在寧靜的默契中
那種愛就像我們目前的愛
是我們所曉得的。
