Tara写给Leyla的那首诗:

Every night I empty my heart 每个夜晚我掏空自己的心灵

but by morning it's full again 但晨光出现时一切照旧

Slowly, droplets of you seep in through the night's soft caress 轻柔地，你化作水滴渗入黑夜的爱抚

At dawn I overflow with thoughts of us 黎明时分的我脑海里都是我们的影子

and aching pleasure that gives me no respite 甜蜜的痛楚使我艰于呼吸

Love cannot be contained 爱不能被包容

The neat packaging of desire splits asunder 饱满充盈的思欲被扯得支离破碎

spilling crimson through my days 我每天的日子布满猩红

long, languishing漫长而哀伤的

Days that are now bruised tender with yearning 日子不断磨伤温柔的向往

spent searching for a fingerprint 我尽力寻找你留下的一抹指痕

a scent, a breath you left behind 一缕柔香，一次呼吸
