Desire
My yearning to your person
is a thirst that never can be quenched,
since you can never really wholly reach another person,
grasp her, have her or be satisfied with her,
since there is always something else to it.
Desires are deceptive leading you astray
since they can never be fulfilled completely
but must lead you on beyond the point of no return,
and thus you always get beyond and miss your goal.
Desire drives you on and speeds you up
and is its own deception,
making you escape your goal instead of finding it.
Content yourself with only loving,
care for her and see that she is always there,
and that is all you really need to just keep going on
as a true lover staying faithful to at least your love.
