I Miss You So Much!
Author: Avtandil Gaprindashvili
I miss you much, so much! Could hardly bring to mind,
When was it that a carefree boy he once to woods you took,
When was it that he picked you cherries at a price of smile,
Ripe cherry dress – same as in past it so befits, adorns you.
Oh it may be that time puts out what's good, one likes,
So that its price should rise, like price of dreams unproved.
Oh I can see our steps like hare’s marks that follow path,
Wish you remembered, Eli, how we called it 'day of woods'.
Now time that passed made me again crave for that day.
Should I behold you I might cry, I miss you much, so much!

About this poem:
Love again - there's no escape from it! Another translation of our Georgian poet. This must have been his first love - as it seems from the poem, but we all could relate, the most cherished and poignant memories are with the first love - no other love could compare!
