I'll keep looking- till that watery reflection of mine in your eye, rolls down as a tear. I'll keep looking till we finally look away like our lives never met. Let's cheat destiny as if we never knew each other. Let's do this last thing together.

About This Quote

This is a poem about the desire for love. The speaker wants to wait for his lover, but he also wants to get on with his own life. He doesn't want to be tied down by love. He wants to remain independent and free to choose between love and life.

He is afraid that if he looks at his reflection in his lover's eyes, he might get smitten. He doesn't want that, so he refuses to look into the eyes of the person who makes him feel so good. He wants to see his reflection in her eyes, but he does not want to commit himself to her by looking into those eyes anymore.

So he looks away from her as if she were not there.
