Enough for me
Enough for me that you are beautiful:
beauty possessed diminishes.
Better a dream of love
than love’s dream broken;
Better a look exchanged
than love’s word spoken.
Enough for me that you walk past,
a firefly flashing in the dark.
Enough for me that you are happy:
happiness reflects possibilites.
Better a garrulous twinkle
than an expression mundane;
Better a trouble laughed
than a tiresome complain.
Enough for me that you've shone past,
a sunbeam dancing in the dark!!
