Lover?

source: http://www.tasawwuf.org/writings/wisdom_seeker/

In the darkness of the night, cooed a pigeon
On a branch, in weakness, while I was asleep.

I lied; By Allah, were I a lover,
The pigeon would not have outpaced me in weeping.

I assume I am lovesick, love struck
But I weep not, while animals weep.
