Poem by Nazim Hikmet

Some say, “I can’t live without you”
I’m not one of them;
I live even without you—
But with you, I live differently…

Loneliness teaches a person many things
But please, don’t leave—
Let me remain unlearned…

A person;
When they cannot become the sea,
In the name of hope,
They must become a seagull.

And the most beautiful word I want to tell you
Is the one I haven’t told you yet.

Who knows;
Perhaps we wouldn’t love each other this much
If we didn’t watch
Our souls from afar…
