only you

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 beginningt o 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.

Rumi
