You are not... [Nu eşti tu...]

You are not the one who hurt me and who broke my heart in two,
Don't be perky that I loved you and I cried for you, my friend,
You were just a ghost, a vapor, of a moment which I knew
That would touch my soul and bind it with a longing without end.
And if happened to torment me and if I am troubled still,
You are not the cause of all these, you're not guilty, I dare say,
My own soul is the true culprit for it felt a profound thrill,
But the love is mine for ever, you're the wink that flew away.
