How Much Longer

Since loving you—
nothing in me remains as it was before.

No one's touch stirs feeling in my heart,
no one's promises trouble my thoughts,
no one's memory keeps me awake at night.

I tell you truly—since touching you...
I wait for no one else,
I burden no one with my sorrows,
I walk beside no one, hand in hand.

Will you tell me...
how much longer will I remain still within you?
