Only my life will die for me, in truth, <br />sometime. <br />Only the grass knows the taste of the earth. <br />In truth, only my blood misses <br />my heart when it leaves. <br />The air is tall, you are tall, <br />my sadness is tall. <br />There comes a time when horses die. <br />There comes a time when machines grow old. <br />There comes a time when cold rains fall, <br />and every woman wears your head- <br />and clothes. <br />There also comes a huge white bird <br />and lays the moon in the sky.<br /><br />Nichita Stanescu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sad-love-song-2/
