4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "My first variant was soulmate as well, but a person on one of the matching sites could be your soulmate I guess... I like beloved, but it is used again later in the text. So I think dear love sounds good in the context. Thank you very much"

neutral Libero_Lang_Lab : This is the obvious translation, but would it work in context of the poem? I think not... perhaps if you were to expand it in English eg. Here, my sweet soulmate, we must part ways....

my beloved

Soulmate isn't really a term of endearment. That's not the context it's generally used it. 'Beloved' is strong and has a poetic tinge.

Please change language pair

Hello Oxana - please repost your request with the correct language pair - it is currently appearing in German-English.
Thank you!
Note from asker:
Its strange because on top it says Ru>Eng. I do not see where it says Ge>Eng, so where should I change it?
