Love and Valentine

Kiss me not and touch
Be far away as a wool cue
Pain is sweeter than being together
Can see only the swifter and beauty of outer
As moon night in the sky
Love being sacred may last forever
Visit me not and thought is enough
In dream to meet and to sing your song
Once it´s belonged, you might loose
Beauty of love may evanescence
