Unable to see you for just one day <br />Suffices to lade my heart with sorrow. <br />I had lived a rubbish life for many years, <br />Until one day: much grief for the morrow. <br /> <br />You came into my existence as a gale <br />For far-off melancholy to surge. <br />I had already forgotten my karma; <br />You had the heart me to fancy you to urge! <br /> <br />Which dreamers don't later wake up? <br />I have felt anguish from now on rise high. <br />You arrived then you left, I knew it; but <br />Why I got infatuated with this fleeting tie! <br /> <br />I will content myself with life's vision <br />Although in a twinkling I consent to. <br />You break off, I will go into eternity; <br />A short moment is enough to love you. <br /> <br />Let me come to see you this evening! <br />And please grant me a smile, however! <br />I will embrace into my sleep my dearest <br />Whom I will still cherish forever...<br /><br />Nhuan LeXuan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/grant-me-a-smile/
