Maybe I'm a coward,

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.
