I don't know what you are to me
I can only learn love
from your school of poetry
But I feel your atom in me
Like a drop of fresh water
that made my heart grow warmer
and the waves in my head calmer
from the same old sea
I don't know what you are to me
But I know an atom of love
in every victory
And within the silence between you and me
A million stories were told
from books of silver and gold
to make history unfold
wordlessly
What are you to me?
