Your phantom never visits without sleeplessness visiting me.
Your phantom only visits to torment me with insomnia
It stirs longing in one whose night is troubled.
Awakening longing in those whose nights are troubled

How long will you think I am heedless of you,
You must think I’m indifferent towards you
when you are my heart, this soul, and my sight?
Yet you are my heart, my soul, my sight
