Valentine's day

None of my friends has understood me;
when I weep in church
they tell me:
That's life.

None of my days
holds my hand;
I wait in vain
for what I dread:
love.

None of my nights
brings me something:
a tenderness
that holds me close,
a dream, a rose...
I don't dare
believe that's life.

--- Rainer Maria Rilke
