An Unfinished Sad Postcard

Keep it close to your heart until we meet, until I finish my work, until there's no barrier between us.
Remarks about the translation
I fell in love with a girl. but the distance make impossible our love, and we decided to stop talking until we can see each other as friends. I had begun to draw her a painting, but I can't continue, and I want to send her what I've done so far, with these words.

Translation
Turkish

Translated by merdogan
Target language: Turkish

Tamamlanmamış Hüzünlü bir Kartpostal

Biz kavuşana, eserimi bitirene ve aramızda hiçbir engel kalmayana kadar, bunu* kalbine yakın tut.
Remarks about the translation
*bunu= 'kartpostalı kalbine yakın tut' anlaminda.
Note:
leonardohadad, in case of confusing, here you can find the literal translation:
"Biz kavuşana kadar, ben eserimi bitirene kadar ve aramızda hiçbir engel kalmayana kadar, bunu (kartpostalı) kalbine yakın tut."

thank you, but I've said "keep it close to your heart, not "keep your heart closed"

it should be kalbinin yakInda tut?

and I mean "artistic work" I don't know, you know better, "is," is means that or only "job/work"

"Bağrına basmak" bence en uygunu.

Bunu bağrına bas ta ki karşılaşana, işlerimi halledene, aramızda hiçbir engel kalmayana kadar.

hi merdogan,
-'Keep it close to your heart' means 'kalbine yakin tut' ('keep close' bir kaliptir ve 'yakin durmak' demek).
- by saying 'until I finish my work' the requester means 'eserimi tamamlayana kadar'-> pls see the requester's comment under the source text.
- for 'postcard' would be better to use 'kartpostal' .
-'engel olmayana kadar'-> 'engel kalmayana kadar'

I don't think I'm needed here, Franck. Although it was not clear what the requester meant by "work" in the original request, he has since made it clear, as he apparently knows some Turkish, and Figen Kırcı is helping with the rest of it.

Sorry Laura, I could have thought about sending Figen a Cc, that's right.
Have a nice Sunday!

Bence "bunu" yerine "onu" olmalı.

'it'=>'o/onu'
ben de once 'onu' yazmistim, ama uymadi, cunku soyle bir durum var:
leonardo sevdigi kiza cizdigi tabloyu bu sozlerle gondermek istiyor. dolayisiyla her nekadar 'it'=>'o/onu' demek olsa da, elde somut bir nesne var ve verilen mesajla ifade 'bunu/ bu kartpostal'a donusuyor. yani kiz tabloyu eline alacak ve su sozleri okuyacak '....-a kadar bunu kalbine yakin tut.'
