"Those Who Flew Away in Love"

Those who flew away in love—
Never knew what love truly is!
They never understood the depth of love.
They will never know,
Or will never be able to realize
How to love,
What it feels like to love someone,
Or what it feels like to be loved!
They spend their whole lives flying aimlessly, like scattered birds,
This sky is no different from that sky, here or there,
At the end of the day— no one is as lonely as they are!
And those who loved and stayed rooted like trees—
They have understood that love is realization.
A deep longing to not have someone,
To feel and realize them in your heart!
At the end of the day, they too may be alone and lonely,
But their hearts hold love, and tenderness.
And— the one who has love in their heart
Is never truly alone, never lonely!
