Though You Tell Me Not

Though You Tell Me Not

By: Evangeline Guerero
Translated by: Alfredo S. Veloso
I know you love me, though you tell me not, I know you hold me captive for always In the strong nets of your life, Celestial thurible of a perennial dream.
Though you tell me not that without me You cannot live, My desire tells me ‘tis all true: That many sad flowers girdle your forehead If when depressed, you think of an Awakening.
What shall I tell you? I look at you… and I am silent. Well do you comprehend now my deep Silence. The star turned flower in the distant sky Contemplates its shadow on the waters Without fear.
Let my sorrow on your breast repose, Like a weary traveling dove. Beneath the tepid shade of the tranquil Orchard Let us the kind caress of peace enjoy.
May repose be a song, a serenade, While in the hour serene we baste The ripened dreams of past epochs That with effluvium fill our old souls.
Though you tell me not you think of me, That all of me in your heart you keep, Return to remembrance shall I and finding You, Though you tell me not I shall know that It is love!

  2. The though you tell me not is about foolishness of love. A kind of love that hiding your true feelings to someone you love.

    My analogy is sometimes we are pretending that we do not care to our feelings to someone that's why we hide it. And we become fool from doing that were just wasting our time from spending to a stupid love like this thats why we become a stupid person when it comes to love.

    As future educator, I will tell them that don't be too serious when it comes to love. Everybody needs someone to love but sometimes loving too much is not good. They are still young and at the right time they will understand its worth. From now on focus on their study, love their family, enjoy being children and thank God.
