Rumi- Open-Mouthed

Now, when I am together with the Friend, with the Beloved, how can I be patient- how could I bear being with strangers?  From the beginning, I felt a great deal of love for you, but I saw then as we began to speak that you weren't mature enough to understand the subtle indications.  If I had spoken more then, you wouldn't have had the ability to understand.  So we closed our mouth, because in those days, you didn't have the state that would allow me to speak.
