So.
What do you do?

When you feel like you can't go on like this
anymore?
When it all just becomes a little too much
to handle?
But when you still think that this cannot be
the end?

What do you do?

When your world is shattered into pieces
in an instant?
When every smile reaches your eyes but never
your heart?
But when you cannot give up just
yet?

Because there are those people
who love you
who rely on you
whom you should be there for.

Because there is this one person
who makes you laugh
who enjoys your presence
whom you can trust with your life.

What do you do?

When this one person,
who means everything to you
whom you love from the bottom of your heart,
just does not get it?

What do you do?

Sitting here on the rooftops,
I watch the sun set over the city.
A single, fiery red ball
Staining the surrounding clouds a bright pink.

The wind, herald of the upcoming storm,
keeps playing with strands of my hair
which hangs over my shoulders like a veil
heavy, warm, protecting.

And I give myself up to the daydreams.
The distant rattling of the train
paints the image of you sitting in it
just on your way to see me.

I can almost feel your warm touch on my shoulder
and hear the reproval in your voice
telling me, I must be crazy
to sit in the cold like that.

My eyes closed, I'd start explaining,
how beautiful the world seems upon dusk.
How the blue hour makes all the colours burst.
How the clear air seems to fill every cell of your body.

I'd breath in your sweet, well-known scent
as you sit down next to me on the roof,
I'd put my arms around you
to keep you warm while you huddle closer.

No need to tell just how much I missed you
or how months can turn into years.
Together, with a mix of melancholy and ease
we wait for the close of the day.

Then I open my eyes to the pitch black,
shivering for the want of your touch
and the comfort of your presence.
Once again sobered by the incipient rain.

Because
I love you

I hold it together
because
Tears and fights
won't do any good.

I'll stand behind you
because
at least someone
needs to have your back.

I believe in you
because
you are strong,
you will make it through.

I won't give up
because
this friendship
is worth fighting for

I'll never leave you
because
despite all doubts
you still need me

I need you, too
because
you are my first thought in the morning
and the last at night

Because
I love you

Good Evening, Moon!
here we are again
just the two of us
or so it seems.
- How are you, my friend?

How was your evening, Moon?
how many sleepless children,
how many doting couples,
how many broken hearts,
- have you seen tonight?

Are you happy, Moon?
with your given task,
when you look down upon us.
Or do you wish to be somewhere else?
- I would understand!

How do you bear it, Moon?
all those people,
relying on you
blaming you
confiding in you.
- Will you tell me the way?

How do you do it, Moon?
Keeping yourself together,
steadily moving forward,
never looking back.
- I don't seem to get it!

Will you be there, Moon?
for me to talk to,
to share my secret wishes
and the cruel pain?
- I thank you for it!
