Love is my religion and my faith

Only you
I choose among the entire world.
Is it fair of you
letting me be unhappy?
My heart is a pen in your hand.

It is all up to you
to write me happy or sad.
I see only what you reveal
and live as you say.

All my feelings have the color
you desire to paint.
From the beginning to the end,
no one but you.

Please make my future
better than the past.

When you hide I change
to a Godless person,
and when you appear,
I find my faith.

Don’t expect to find
any more in me
than what you give.

Don’t search for
hidden pockets because
I’ve shown you that
all I have is all you gave.

Translated by Nader Khalili
