What should I call you?
How should I introduce you to the world?
In what colors and lines
Should I draw your face?
What is this,
That instead of replying,
You only keep smiling from a distance.
Although you stretch your arms towards me,
You do not utter a single word.

Should I call you eternally mysterious?
Simply look at you in bewilderment?
