Stay still for some more, love,
in my flickering memory,
while I see you ascend from this paradise of conflict,
to the ethereal melody.

Do you see your adieu painting autumn for eternity,
here in my triviality?

But I see you rising to heaven,
and my existence frozen,
with your wrenching separation,
in this paradise of conflict!
