I cannot live without you.”

“Love said to me, don’t try to define me,
If you think you can put me into words,
alas, my friend, you are at loss.

I am hidden from hidden things,
secrete of secretes.

I am different in each heart,
a hundred million faces,
a hundred million languages—
without a single word.

If you think you can define me,
alas, my friend, you are at loss.”

If you think you can put me into words,
alas, my friend, you are at loss.

I am hidden from hidden things,
secrete of secretes.

a hundred million faces,
a hundred million languages—
without a single word.

If you think you can define me,
alas, my friend, you are at loss.”
