Shining Moment

Shining Moment

You are my shining moment
and a great mystery,
in the moonlight's shade,
my enchanting music.

You touch me with glances
and thus warm my soul,
with witty words
you always make me smile.

When I lay down in bed
I yearn for your love,
yet I must refrain
from waking you at night.

Let my voice not touch you,
I love you without hope, secretly,
I speak in this midnight hour:
I want you, futilely, endlessly.
