The Monologue of the Unforgotten

: Come, let me touch you once more.
: I've spread across your time the lost fables of our memories.
: With you rest the countless emotions of moments that have ceased.
: Those tear-soaked eyes from that missing day—I see them still beyond the door.
: Even behind a hundred grievances, I've kept you in sorrow's tumult.
: How do you think I could forget?

: Have you ever truly been able to forget me?
: Did you ever wish to remember?
: That day you came into the boundaries of my sight...
: Could I bind you with any rule?
: No.
: You are that magical feeling I keep beyond all my rules.

: Without you, are all my tears unfulfilled?
: In your emptiness, what do I gain?
: Is love then merely a reckless straw of the unattained?
: Even the colored moments know—how painful loneliness is without your touch!

: Have you come?
: Today I long to see you so much.
: I wonder if that thirst for love still exists in your voice for me?
: The traces of feelings that silently withdrew still speak of you.
: In that silent moment our love came to a halt.

: Why am I such a failure—can you tell me this much?
: In this dark, indefinite time, why did you call me from behind—can you say?
: You are the one who feels most dear to me.
: Breaking through walls of expectation, you were the first to come to me.
: If someday you wish to forget—dissolve me in memory's wind.
: Forget too that address where lie the remorse of my hundred mistakes burned in your name.

: Who knows when someone carelessly, neglectfully, ravaged this heart's interior?
: You came to trap yourself in that tangled weaving of dreams.
: How can I forget you?
: Look back—see how the gap of unfamiliar time has lessened our distance.

: Can we truly remain close then?
: I want to hold you—restless in this anxiety, in my sighs.
: How much I love you—this remains unexpressed even to myself.
: In life's incompleteness, love runs deepest!
: To carry someone's memory even in solitude—that too is love.
: I want to lose myself for eternity in the tenderness of an imagined moment with you...
: Will you keep me in your heart?

: And if I say—throughout this entire imagined moment you are only mine...
: Then...?
