I Remember You

I remember you, 
Like now that I'm all alone
watching the coming waves that 
seem to be lively and are 
wanting to land 
Where I stand in silence.

The world is quiet beneath the 
serene sky
The melodious wind blows 
obsequiously
Like the former you who were so 
gentle to me
You were the tranquility of my 
mind and my feeling.

The water is cold when it
touches me
It's so sublime to my body and soul
Like your lips that I always long 
for, 
My happiness that I earnestly 
desire.
I remember you in this very 
moment
When the birds are up in the air
Their singing is music to the ears
Like your voice that brought 
soothing melody.
I remember you in this very 
hour
How can I forget your memory? 
When my treasure is your image
That I keep within my heart and 
my mind!
