Mine, The Only One

How does this dress become you?
How has my world come to stillness in your eyes?
What troubles you? Come now, don't surrender to it!
For you and the moon, you know, I would go.

I will not deck you out in flowers and colours.
What are they beside your beauty?
Isn't it enough that I cannot draw breath without you,
that you are my passion, my love!
And you won't darken with anger when I leave.

Far away when I am, doing what must be done.
Think that I'm beside you. That we remain together.
And feel me as you do at night.
The sky, the moment it settles in expectation,
and kindles thousands of stars anew,
how I rush to see you, to smile.

And put on the enchanted dress.
And wait for me at the threshold.
In a trance.
And with eyes alight with love, count to three.
I'll be there. To kiss you.
And let the world cease its turning once more!
