To understand the world I live in

As a philosopher,
I've tried for so many years to understand the world I was born into...
As you placed upon me the greatest of honor;
Your eyes reflected the face of a hopeless lover,
Since that time has passed,
I have devoted my life, solely to understanding, the world which within I live
The philosophers,
Hunger for knowledge and understanding of this existence...
I, as a lover,
Thirst a nectar which could only be found within your mind...
