O my Soul, do you know me?
Have you looked me in the eye?
Has it been your habit to shun me?
Or, is it a pretext for the unexpected?
I've been yours ever since my first breath,
I've been a child of your magnitude,
I've been your image for the unknown,
And now, I am the Unexpected? !
Nor loving you for what you are,
Neither hating you for my existence;
A love you are of the unexpected kind,
A love I am not destined to love.
You are me of the other kind,
And yet you aren't me!

A love you are of the unexpected kind,
A love I am not destined to love.
You are me of the other kind,
And yet you aren't me!
