hello my old heart
it’s been so long
how have you been
you’re barely beating

hello my old heart
i’ve been so worried
are you still there
inside my ribs?

hello my old heart
you’re almost still

oh i’m sorry, i’m sorry
the walls i built to keep you safe
are now too sky high
that’s why i didn’t hear your pleas

hello my old heart
don’t you worry being locked
in there you’re safe and sound
yes you’ll never beat but you’ll never break

others wanted me
others hated me
honesty is my name
and it’s such a lonely word

i was falling fast and hard
i have to second think why
then i remembered, it started to rain
oh, i’m a raindrop!

there is us
and somebody told me
that it should be enough
but there is culture,
religion and perspective too
there are diffeences
and us would not be enough
there must be respect,
understanding, acceptance
there must be more than just an us
there must be more than just love

it must be
the shared loneliness
the craving for warmth
the longing for love
and then there is time
and distance too
but there is us
and i hope it’s enough

i used to look at myself in the mirror
and recognized myself
but one fine morning
when i sat and stared
i am very much different
much more different..
