Gift to my beloved
The story behind the poem

This poem belongs to my first real love, which was unrequited but nonetheless unbelievably intense. It sounds like I'm hoping to share my life with this person, but in reality I was just beginning to pull away. It is a farewell gift that I suppose I deliberately made general, as if aimed at some man of the future.
