The book

Head in clouds, my mind

far, far away …

guess it’s poetry,

again, they say?

Again, I reply,

dive in or let it be,

it’s up to you,

I invite you to be part of

this world in the clouds

or even on the ground?

For you and only you. I thought I’d never dedicate you a book. Turns out I was wrong.

For all the lovers and dreamers out there.

I think of you in my sleep

wishing you were here

right beside me …

… the image slowly fades

fades far, far away …

blurry lines

colour getting lost in water

slowly fading away …

Awake. Still thinking of you.

Doing everything wrong.

Wanting you to see me the way –

the way I see you.

In all those colours

exploding like feelings

feeling I can’t hide anymore.

Wish you were here

right by my side …

Constantly thinking ‘bout you –

wishing we could go to Paris and

have that cup of coffee

near the Tour Eiffel …

Not to forget:

have those long,

long walks at the Seine.

Your hand in mine,

sun already setting.

Grabbing glasses of red, red wine and

candlelight dinner

turning into moonlight dinner.

I see your silhouette,

our eyes meet.

You grab my hands and

pull me into the water.

Cold, but not that cold …

‘cause you’re by my side …

your warming body,

your lovely words.

I feel so blessed,

I’m so in love.

I’m in this state of mind.

Slowly fading away.

From everything and everyone

without anyone noticing.

Try to hold on but …

… I can’t.

Strength has left me.

I’m all alone

surrounded by all these people.

Rushing feet, stressed faces.

Fast world, fast people.

I fade further.

Standing here,

in-between all of them,

slowly, slowly fading away.

A single tear drop –

the rest? run dry.

I don’t feel anymore.

I wish I could but

all gone

Faded away.

I begin to fall apart.

At night

you’re in my head,

in my dreams,

in my mind.

Can’t sleep

thinking ‘bout you.

Thinking ‘bout

telling you

how much I love you –

but I can’t.

This pain, tears

keeping me awake …

… wishing you were here …

… wish I could be with you,

I miss you –

miss you so much

it hurts so bad …

miss you so much

‘cause I love you?

Who could’ve told

I’d fall for you

fall so bad,

bad in love

with

every fibre of my body …

don’t know what to do

what to feel

what to say …

feels like

the air is getting thinner

when I’m with you.

What if it was never

meant to be?

What if it was just

by chance we met?

What if we were not

meant to fall for each other?

And what if we actually

fell for one another?

What if? What if? What if?

And in this other life

we might meet again …

… as strangers, friends or even

lovers?

You tell me, tell me

how you feel,

how you wanna feel …

in this other life

everything might be different

or still the same?

Tell me what you’d prefer …

or even tell me

what you feel, now,

in this life and maybe,
