Precious fragments

Precious fragments of pleasant texts
smatterings of conversations
smiling faces seen, and seen past
one glass red wine, poured libation
 
love is gibi tatlı pembe flowers
love hurts, love will tear us apart again
all you need is love, love is all you need
love is in the air, everywhere, in my brain
 
I hold your every word and sign so close
I hold many languages in my head
I feel your dear friendship by hints you show
I  feel I'll feel it 'til I'm weary, old, and dead

ben evli, sen evli, ama,
and alas, not to each other
yes girl, fine girl, therein lies the rub:
so canım sister be, and I canım brother.
