Of all the women I have known
You give yourself most perfectly.
You kiss my lips with love, not lust,
Only because I told you that
I want your love.

There were and will be many men
To whom you'd give yourself in full.
They do not seek what I have found.
They matter not as long as just
I want your love.

My own love is a humble one,
Part-time, naïve and innocent.
You never look for fair exchange
As long as you are sure how much
I want your love.

With tears and years and miles to come
We will be strangers. Such is life.
Yet on my dying day I'll miss
The way you give your love, just as
I want your love.
