I have been thinking of You,
Сonsidering You far away
Аnd never looked
Close by.

You filled me with melody,
But I did not know that You loved me.
You were there and I was also there.
You were honey and I was a flower.

Engrossed in matter
I could not understand my real self.
You made me know that I am Yours.
Now, searching my real self within my mind
I know it to be closest.
