Our Love Is One

A wave boils with its foam, freezing,
And dissipates - just only once,
A heart could not to live with treason.
No treason! Love is one for us!

We may be angry, may be reasoned,
Or false - but heart did not decline
To black adultery, to treason:
Our soul is one - our love is one.

In its monotony and emptiness,
All life could usually be goneā€¦
And in this life as long as endless,
Our love is one, yes, always one.
