And yet not find you around ~ Rumi

Sweetheart i see myself 
very close to you 
like earth 

I welcome 
your every step 

Is it fair to call you
my entire world

And yet not
find you around

    We are bound together.
    I am the ground
    You are the step.

    How unfair is this Love!
    I can see Your world
    but You, I cannot.

    Friend, our closeness is this:
    Anywhere you put your foot, feel me
    in the firmness under you.

    How is it with this love,
    I see your world and not you?
