My heart, I wish to ask you

My heart, I wish to ask you,

What, then, is love, tell me?--

"Two souls and a single thought,

Two hearts and a single heartbeat!"

And tell me: where does love come from?--

"It comes and it is there!"

And tell me: how does love vanish?--

"It was not love if that happened!"

And [what is pure love? --

"That which] forgets itself!"

And when is love at its most profound?--

"When it is at its quietest!"

And when is love at its richest?--

"Love is that when it gives!"

And say, how does love speak?--

"It does not speak, it loves!"
