Maybe we're not as great as Pierre and Marie Curie
O' mi amor you know how much I worship you? Not like an idolatry—
Your aroma is even like the coffee I brew every morning
Maybe our love is like the aurora borealis blazing and dancing on the eve celestial in the ionosphere padding
O' mi amor I'm not a poetic poet who can string words and romantic stanzas
Do you remember when we were sneaking to meet up at recess in the school's backyard?
I giggled remembering how silly we were at that time
Maybe we're not as great as Pierre and Marie Curie, but I want us to be not only romantic in love, but perfect in knowledge & education
I force myself to consider this distance like defiance for us—
And you know I even put your portrait in front of my study table
A simple delusion or inclination unfulfillment & consternation in my reverie
Unfulfilled hopes like perturbation embezzle my peace of mind
However, this distance may make our yearning overflow
Miles away from those I love is undefined how torturous it is—
I recall all the promises we made underneath hues Indigo that night
When you tenderly caress my cheeks and your eyes are glassy
Can't help but I wish that I was there now and let go of yearning
O' mi amor the only thing I ask from God is you— only you
I'm lonely and I'm jaded, I miss you every single day
There's nothing special here for me in this vacuous city
Yearning is like madding ecstasy, out of control
O' amor can yearn to be kinder to us?
Our eagerness to meet is quite intoxicating
I'm really croon pitifully here, my hands really want to reach you, but how?
The distance is like a labyrinth hinders our stride, we linger in the doorway of expectancy
We only got to the end of that door and couldn't go any further— chimerical hallucination
But you should know your name reverberates in my orison and I've written many pages about you
Even though the stanzas I wrote were helter-skelter, there I carved our eternity with ink in paper
Our love will be forever & if we die we die together like Romeo and Juliet, but not suicide
We were searching for our future direction, but still our hearts coalesce like a neutron star collision
Set the belief to meet again when we have succeeded in achieving our dreams
