Neither you nor me!

True love is a secret / neither you know nor me!

The mystery in its meaning / neither you solve nor me!

We keep running behind bodies with the dream of beauty

Once the body is gone / neither you stay nor me!

We are nothing in the realm of beings / neither you exist nor me!

The wisdom in our nothingness / neither you grasp nor me!

We keep running behind illusions with the hope of reality

But the truth is beyond this / neither you see nor me!
