Stolen away and there inspired
While seeing dreams during the day,
All saw me sleeping, so they say,
But no one said that I looked tired

Due to the fact that in the day
The dreams were floating in my sight
I cannot sleep; awake I stay
And like a lonesome shadow sway
Over my sleeping friends at night

Note: this is a translation of a poem by Tsvetaeva.

I fell in love and kept on falling

Thanks everybody. I wasn't sure about translating at first, it seemed too challenging. But it the end, translating turned out to be fun.
