Read 2 times. Last read February 15, 2025 to February 17, 2025.
Third reading of a great favorite.
Poems often of great passion.
Here's a gem by Fujiwara No Sadayori, 11th century:
You say, "I will come."
And you do not come.
Now you say, "I will not come."
So shall expect you.
Have I learned to understand you?

These are great, I happened to have read them as part of a contest series where each week inspired by one poem, you would come up with a five line poem yourself.
Many translations too exist online.
