I had to love you… Refik Martinović

 

 In the early evenings
 when the winds were playing
 and I thought it was your whisper
 when we have green grass
 were temples of love
 and the scent of jasmine
 from your yard
 a sweet intoxication of love
 ... I had to love you.

 In the sunken nights
 when the moon is full
 stealing
 into our empty bed
 and the stars scattered across the sky
 looking for lost traces
 and my lips on yours
 which have long been gone
 oh ... how hard it is
 lead pain
 ... I had to love you.

 Get used to it without me
 on crystal mornings
 And dead of night
 which is silent in silence
 on the roar of dead birds
 in the canopy of linden trees
 on a dry river
 which floods memories
 ...please
 don't delete me
 from your calendar
 ... I have to love you.

 And after life
 when there are no us
 we won't know
 what love will be called
 you always will be
 my innocent illusion
 and a shadow in silence
 a woman with keys
 my souls
 ... I must love you forever.
