“Even if I now saw you…” by Izumi Shikibu
And because you can never have too many poems in a day:
“Even if I now saw you…”

only once,
I would long for you
through worlds,
worlds.

“Trampling the dry grass the wild boar makes his bed, and sleeps. I would not sleep so soundly even were I without these feelings.” Izumi Shikibu
I may not mean much to you, but your heart is in the right place.
