You

When I see your amorous image in the moon,
Clouds cover it up, make us drift evermore.

When I carve your image in the sands of the beach,
Waves come and snatch you from me.

When I adore your image in the lake,
Wind gusts come and scatter my dreams.

I have engraved your picture in my heart,
No one in the world could ever erase it from my heart.
