Now you wll feel no rain,
for each of you will be shelter for the other.
Now you will feel no cold,
for each of you will be warmth to the other,
Now there will be no loneliness,
for each of you will be companion to the other,
Now you are two persons,
but there is only one life before you.
Go now to your dwelling place,
to enter into the days of your life together.
And may your days be good
and long upon the earth.
You who only see me,
who give everything to me without sparing.
An angel you are.
It must be hard and tiring for you at times,
but you believe in me without wavering,
when I have nothing to show.
Isn't strange? It seems you have no tears.
Even when you're in pain, you smile for me.
I smile because I am happy by your side.
These words I have kept at the bottom of my throat...I really love you.
My foolish love which cannot even be expressed.
Now I finally say this...
I live because you exist...
"You lie sleeping through the long summer days, the long winter nights."
"In a hundred years, I will lie next to you."
"Please wait in peace until that day."
** This is an excerpt from the korean drama movie "My Girl and I". According to the movie, it is an old Chinese poem.
A beautiful, heart-breaking poetry.
It seems that the poet wrote it after the death of his beloved. Even though mankind seems to have made great progress, in the human heart, deep within, there hasn't been much change.
This poem was written about 2,000 years ago. But I think its more touching than today's poems.
