Tell me, in the city called 'You', isn't there even a small room for me?
Fine, let there be no room! At least give me the chance to walk down a footpath street of this city…or is that too impossible!
How strange this city named 'You' is, where the road to enter is so easy, yet there's no road out at all! Because, the moment one enters this city, even the body full of enchantment dissolves away…
No existence of body or mind remains, perhaps that's why one cannot return!
Who knows why, despite this dissolution, even in dreams the desire burns so strong to enter the city called 'You'!
Can you hear me?
Look, I am now a wounded bird; seeing the gaze of a wounded bird makes anyone's heart tremble, stirs compassion.
Doesn't even a trace of tenderness stir in you for me?
If I were to die suddenly, you would see—you'd be quite happy, relieved from annoyance!
When did you become like this? I never even noticed!
This…whatever you are, I simply cannot understand! When will I ever understand you!
Lost somewhere in the lanes and alleys of the suburbs…I search and search, growing weary, but still cannot find you!
Please, come to the main road for once, so I can find you easily.
I can't go on…!
I am utterly exhausted!
Stand at some bend in the path—right foot leaning against the left; I'll come rushing like a gust of wind and touch you one last time!
A City Named 'You'
