And maybe I don't dare confront you.
Relying on my boldness is useless,
Gauging your character, taking the appropriate measures...
As of today, the response I get is simply too vague.
Referring to common memories, joking,
Entering that competition, designing that crossword,
Taking part in our separate journey set for Stockholm;
All I do, I do for you, my love.
I had a dream last night,
a dream that felt so real.
Its meaning was beyond me,
I couldn't grasp its message.
I dreamed I lived in your house,
exploring the rooms one by one,
I dreamed of studying your possessions,
imagining you having used them at some time.
Thought intriguing I found that dream back then,
while trying to recall it now I get an unpleasant feeling;
the house was yours, yes, that's for sure,
but its inhabitants were not present.
It seems at night, or when I'm tired,
other sides of my soul are brought forth;
my mind turns to you, I go quiet,
I focus in the distance, and think of you.
My usually rational self metamorphoses,
and the result is a being of pure emotions,
a lunatic poet, aching with pain,
from being separated from you.
A last resort, to relieve my pain,
a desperate effort to get the upper hand in my struggle,
is to concentrate on you,
your being, your voice, your actions and your character.
