Missing Love[Tanka]


Missing Love - Old English.
Thank you Thomas Perdue :)

Minutes changeth slow
Just as slow the days do changeth
I miss thee so much.

When thou misseth thy loved one
Time slowth almost to a stop.

Missing Love - Modern English.

Minutes change slowly
Just as slow the days do change
I miss you much.

When you're missing your loved one
Time slows almost to a stop.
