I Long For Him Most Comments

in a different translation: 人にあはむつきのなきには思ひおきて胸走り火に心焼けをり I’d meet him tonight But there’s no moon, no path. My yearning for him, Smoldering ember in my breast, Burns my heart to ash! - - Ono no Komachi - 小野小町 - -

another waka by Ono No Komachi (from the Kokinshu) : I never cease To follow you in my dreams, In my fantasies... Yet, we haven’t met Not even acquainted.
