If you must know me
Follow me to the terrace tonight
Let us spend the time till sunshine
Intoxicated as drunk hagglers
Of the mead handed by the night sky.
If you must know me
Don't ask or tell me of words
Words stand so many confusing meanings
Come, sit next to me in still silence
And see if you can hear my part.
If you must know me
The days are too dark to speak
Wake me up in the melody of this night
Open your window, ask my melancholic moon of sights
That a lunatic girl had given her of your smile.
