Your gentle glance
Love needs a partner for its dance.
And on the screen of my iPhone
There is your gentle glance.
What are you doing at the moment?
What are you thinking now?
What is your new entertainment?
I'm not allowed to know.
I still remember your voice well,
I can feel your skin and flavor.
But the thought rings out like a bell,
That love is not always in favor
So I return rebuked to my content,
And gain by ills thrice more than I have spent.*
* The last two lines from William Shakespeare's sonnet 119 What potions have I drunk of Siren tears
