When missing you I taste a bit of honey It is still sweet, as usual The promise you made For thousands of years
I can hear Your humming Your wings dancing With flowers faintly scented
Closing my eyes I can feel you from the sky descent Like an angel From God
My head becomes light I don’t know if I am smitten Or just because my blood sugar is high
It should be your beauty And your hidden stinger Both, give me that shiver
