POEM FROM UGUR

Ugur writes me poems from time to time. This is just one of them.


Do you know what it’s like to love you?
It’s like;
When there’s no air to breath in,
Taking a deep breath,
And keeping it inside forever.
Do you know what it’s like to love you?
It’s like;
When you are dried all over in the middle of the dessert
Finding a sip of water
And keeping it in your mouth forever, without swallowing
Do you know what it’s like to love you?
It’s like;
When you are in the most desperate moment in your life
And there is nowhere to go
Putting your hand on your heart and stay there
Do you know what it’s like to love you?
It’s like;
In the middle of the darkness
When you are the only light to be seen
Imprisoning that light in my eyes and close them

Loving you is the most beautiful thing in the world
When there is nothing else to love but you,
When there is nothing else to see but you,
When there is no more breath but you,
When there is no light but you,
Accepting to live in a world
That there is nothing in it but you
Loving you is something like that,
And I love you just like that.
