The Self-Reflection of Silence

: Does her profound entreaty not pain you?
If it does cause you pain, then why—even while keeping her within reach of your deep embrace—do you continue to leave that trembling of longing unexpressed?
Having brought waiting to an end, did she not wish to come near you?

: She did.
She still doesn't know—that my heart yearns to receive her.

: So you harbor no expectation of attainment?

: Did I ever?

: Ha ha ha...
Though you may have gradually succeeded in withdrawing yourself from all expectations, your expectations have accumulated behind her love, sheltered in eternity's refuge.

: Is love so easy to convey?
If only she could understand once the unimaginable devastation that touches my heart in the manifest form of her love—then perhaps in her desperation to have me, she would lose herself in the depths, become absorbed in restlessness, and hold me close in the tenderness of her deep embrace.

: Certainly.
But you must be the one to begin.
There's no opportunity now to remain self-absorbed.
I can only awaken the feelings of your love. But to acknowledge my existence, you must necessarily accept her.

This feeling of love throughout your being yearns only for her touch.
In the sighs of long conversations with yourself, having known the depth of your very feelings—to make her witness to love, to convey the depth of devotion, is there need for any other acceptance?
How much have you considered? Are you not bound by agreement with yourself in this faith?

: Certainly.
Wanting to consider her in some other excellence—driven by sheer ignorance, merely a visible metaphor for the burning torment of one's own feelings.
Enchantment is not the adversary of external beauty, but rather a different inner stirring.
In this feeling, is it not better to wish to walk the path of love?

: Ha ha ha...
Have you fallen under her spell?
Have you ever known—the inevitability of your enchantment's hold over her?

: If you can establish me—that is, if you can only hold the feeling of love alone, you will be able to give her place in your heart.
This will be the inaugural moment of your eternal journey together.


Removing the veil of insurmountable enchantment, to embrace in arms the gatekeeper of the heart, the witness to approaching love—
this moment stirs with the measured sensation of unbearable love.
