I do not know what has changed in you?

love poem

I do not know what has changed in you.

You were more beautiful and more flourishing!

Your eyes had a brilliance that seized and dazzled the heart!

Your face had a seductive, captivating and conquering charm!

Your beauty had something of princesses in the stories of Arabian Nights.

 You were a thousand times prettier and more poetic than your descriptions by the poets.

You were to me a treasure that is worth a thousand lives.

You were the dearest and the most dazzling.

You have become a simple woman with ordinary lips and eyes, a woman any woman... no more.

Your face is no longer a world full of lights, beauty and splendor.

Your eyes no longer had the brilliance of the magic of dawn and the dreams of evening.

Your whisper is no longer a hymn comes from the sky.

Oh my God! All this magic vanished in the blink of an eye!

All this Passion was only a dream!

Everything was only an illusion, annihilated and broken!

Here is the dreamer wakes up, and who had been deluded is freed from his illusion.

You were in my eyes the dearest, the most beautiful, the most precious and the most sought after person.

You have become a simple woman with ordinary lips and eyes, a woman any woman ... no more.

Your glow is no longer dazzling.

Your beauty is no longer fascinating.

Your voice is no longer exciting.

You were, in my eyes, the kindest, purest, most intelligent and cleverest person.

Here you have become like the others. You have advantages and faults, no more.

You are not the best nor the holiest woman.

Your word is no longer the final decision.

Your affection is no longer a favor.

Your injustice does not mean justice anymore.

We are at the crossroads. Each of us is alone and stranger to the other as we once were.

We stumble on our steps. The dream was drying up and how long we lived it green. Now life has lost its radiance and freshness.

Farewell, O vows of yesterday. You became a memory of the generous time that was flowing and losing.

You were a blossoming dream. I wished it had fruits.

You were a wonderful illusion. I wanted it to continue and last.
