I Miss You so Much - Rumi -

A Portrait  by Kahlil Gibran .

If the wind had taken me to you,

I would have held tight to the skirts of the wind.

I miss you so much that I would fly to you faster than a bird;

But how can a bird with a clipped wing fly”

*

You left and I cried tears of blood. 

My sorrow grows. 

Its not just that You left. 

But when You left my eyes went with You. 

Now, how will I cry?

*

In the early dawn of happiness

you gave me three kisses

so that I would wake up

to this moment of love

Between my love and my heart

things were happening which

slowly slowly

made me recall everything

You amuse me with your touch

although I can’t see your hands.

You have kissed me with tenderness

although I haven’t seen your lips

You are hidden from me.
