The other day, I came across a fragrance.
Where are you from? I wondered.
So sweet, your figure I could not help tracing.
Mango flowers?— ’cause it’s the first thing in sight.
Wished to pluck a piece from the tree and prove,
But retreated for the unreachable height.
Tracing, I kept tracing,
But the line of mango trees disappointed me.
Today, finally, I found you
—there behind the mango tree and high above amongst green leaves.
What a thrill!
Eagerly I moved towards you.
Caught sight of you
—small white bud-like flowers!
Sweet, so sweet, I felt drunk.
Wish to approach you
And breathe in your fragrance to my heart’s content.
But high above you stay I could only watch.
Now without you by my side,
I have your scent on my mind.
Maybe it’s the distance that has made you so special!
