The Best Poem Of Brent Yan

To My Love

A bedroom enjoys clouds out of the window
A pair of limpid eyes drenched in sorrow
Once I was a wisp of wind drifting away
Not knowing you would not there stay
 
Sometimes I don't know why I should cry
With the dripping tears and long heavy sighs
Sometimes I really want to depart the world
Since the world without you is made swirled
 
But my dear love, where could I depart for?
No place is a place that my heart could moor
My desire to love has faded long ago
It's you who made my hearth of heart reglow
 
Now you forsake me to seek for true love
My life and light escape for good thereof
