I'd say you are naughty, wicked and spoilt,
Just like the kitten I had as a kid,
that fluffy ball that would purr all day long,
then suddenly explode at a maddening speed,
and jump all around and run all around and break all around!

And you're just the same, you would pur in my lap
and wait till I think you are sweet and you're mine
and then run away me still having a nap
and seeing a dream at the happiness prime!
(awake, I sill see you have crashed all around!)

So what do I do? just let go I guess!
For all your bad traits you're still sweet as you are...
And spoilt as you are, but with every caress
I feel I recover and life's not that hard!
And happily jumping, I break all around!

What can be worse than to know you've been loved,
but now are loved no more?
The feeling's gone,
and so is the hope.

It just so happened. Nobody's to blame,
yet nothing rends your heart as much as this...
Your thougths are dark, your mind's becoming lame...
You'll hardly ever know what is bliss...

Cruel words... mean glances... angry eyes...
Hopelessness is what you feel around.
Look at him... and all those wicked lies
suddenly become so clear! You're bound

to recall, to think, to analyse,
live it through again, refresh each detail.
Try to hide your hurt - through all disguise
it will still be seen, each trembling petal.

*

I've been looking for you forever...
And yet when I found you I still didn't know
it was you that I found.

It took me forever to realize
it was you that I needed and you that I loved --
I've been looking for you forever!..

*

What is that if not love?

When I think I could f'rever
just be talking to you...
when I feel smart and clever,
just because I'm with you....

What is that if not love?

When you say you laugh with me,
never at me, when I
feel so warm and protected,
when you ask me to smile...

*

This empty feeling inside -- again!
And all this love, all hatred -- in vain...
How hopeless: I've made it on time
to the station
and still missed my train --
it had been too sunny,
I knew it would just have to rain!

I thought you would always be there by my side,
for the rest of our lives...
I thought -- oh silly! --
I thought I would not have to fight
my feelings nor hide them from you --
I thought we were one...
It had been so sunny,
but now those bright days are gone!

*

There are moments that seem unimportant,
Really just silly moments --
Like a long long chat about nothing
that brought you peace and comfort...
Like a long and meaningful silence
that helped you get through somehow...

And when they are gone you remember...
And, though gone, they remain...
