Do not LOVE me, my friend

Like your shadow-

Shadows fade in the evening.

And i will hold you-  Until the cock crows.

Do not love me like pepper-

It makes my belly hot  I cannot eat pepper

When i am hungry.

Do not love me like a pillow-

One would meet in sleep

And not see each other

During the day.

Love me like a dream-

For dreams are your life

In the night

A nd my hope in the day.
