AlfaPena/ Poem by Turkish poet, Ceyhun Yilmaz: You are the second woman I

Ceyhun Yilmaz : You are the second woman I love.

I was forced to love the first one,
I have received many good things from her,
I have never loved any obligation in my life as much as her.

You are the second woman I love,
It is impossible to take the place of the first.
She taught me to love,
I wouldn't love you either if you hadn't taught me.

Believe me, I only learned to walk because she held my hands,
I was able to run towards you.

Why do your eyes look like hers,
I couldn't take my eyes off you anymore.
I love you, I'm in love with you.

You are the second woman I love,
I carry her on my shoulder throughout my life,
While I have you in my every morning.

Don't be jealous,
Even the first letter of your name in the alphabet
comes after hers,
My heart is yours now.

Love me as much as she does, that's enough.
She gave birth to me, don't kill me.
