Without You, the Mind is Desolate

: Why do you wish to hide yourself?
: If the heart yearns for her, why don't you tell her?
: I want to feel her presence within me—intensely.
Yet for some unknown reason, all paths to bring her back are blocked today.

: To bring her back, you must plunge into the illusion of emotion. How much you want her remains unclear.
Your mind is not ready to surrender to emotion.
But your heart? It is incomplete without her touch!
Then how will you hold onto her?
Consider—is bringing her back into your life truly logical?
If you wish to listen to the heart, you must embrace this emotion with everything you have.
Can you do that?

: Her absence burns me deeply.
Yet this was never supposed to happen!

: Look, what will happen in the future, or what is about to happen in the next moment—
none of us know.
What is happening right now is the only truth,
and you must make your decision accepting this.
Do you want to find her?
Do you want to tell her your unspoken feelings?

That is no longer possible.
She has gone—behind a veil of sudden emotion,
where your heart's condition never mattered.

To hold onto someone you love requires emotion—
which you completely lack.
Then why this futile search?

: I could have held onto her through emotion if I had wanted,
but I didn't want that.
I wanted—
for her to awaken my numb body with her touch.

: Can someone whose touch stirs the heart
be bound by any particular emotion?
Your presence is not necessary for her—
why won't you understand this?

How are you so certain
that she will never need you again?
Perhaps she only wanted to see your emotion for her through your touch.
Did you ever try to understand that?

In the deprivation of love, only emotion prevails,
and you say—you'll bring her back without emotion?
Abandon this impossible fantasy.

You have come very close now.
If you accept me with your everything—
you will find her very soon.
Just one more step—
there lies her dwelling!
Then why this delay?

: In the judgment of eternity, emotion never endures.
Only love survives—
pure, intimate love of feeling.
This intense love will compel her return.

: Then do you wish to embrace time's vast form?

: Undoubtedly so.

: Then welcome to this exhausting path.
For at the end of this long, difficult wait
you will receive a most purified love—
which is undoubtedly beyond human reach.
