Besides You
no, I haven't understood your words yet
I haven't mustered up the courage yet.
I'm sure Now that I heard you crying, you lie next to me and you pretend to sleep. And I know that when I want to touch you, you sullenly resist as if I were a stranger.
I'm afraid of your face when we wake up,
I'm afraid I won't even know you anymore.
and I can almost see your body in the dark next to me,
I know every corner of it.
I may never see you again and I'm surprised
that I can now think so calmly and clearly.
I even recognize the way you breathe
in the darkness of our hard, narrow bed.
and I feel the warmth radiating from your body
even though you left me in the cold
I still remember well the first night we here were
it was winter and you had missed the train.
you lay in my bed staring into space
because you didn't know too much about it.
and I wanted to seem very experienced
but I didn't know much more about it than you did.
in the morning we didn't dare to look at each other,
I regretted it and I was very happy.
it is morning again and the sun has already started to shine,
through my eyelashes I see you standing across the room
in the soft light that falls through the curtains .
and now you are ashamed of me, you get dressed.
I hope I will never experience such a night again
and it doesn't matter if I suppress my feelings,
but you gave me something at the farewell, the feeling of love and happiness.
and I jump out of bed, I open the windows,
people are swarming on the square, the sky is blue .
I want to walk without purpose and without paths,
and be happy even if not with you.
I want to go to the sea to ride the waves,
I want to fly like a bird in the sky, being in the clouds or buried under foam.
it is over and I am free and with a sigh,
with a laugh and with a tear I am through streets
of the city where it is now spring.
and I have left winter behind me,
our love can no longer exist.
but even if I go away from here , yet I keep singing,
I always have a song and my guitar.
I keep dreaming of exactly the same things,
I will see you again and we will stay together.
