You see I cannot see-your lifetime-
I must guess-
How many times it ache for me-today-Confess-
How many times for my far sake
The brave eyes film-
But I guess guessing hurts-
Mine-got so dim!
Too vague-the face-
My own-so patient-covers-
Too far-the strength-
My timidness enfolds-
Haunting the Heart-
Like her translated faces-
Teasing the want-
It-only-can suffice!
(Emily Dickinson)
