I crawled into a new life
When maybe I should have jumped
Slowly lowering myself
Into the icy depths
When I should have taken a dive
So now here I am
Frostbitten and cold
I did this to myself

You walked by and never saved me
Because I wasn't drowning
You saw me standing in the icy water
And just assumed that I was fine
But if I had just jumped
If I had only taken that dive,
Then maybe you would have seen me drowning
Maybe you would have tried to save me.
There is a little pearl box
in my heart
and sometimes I open it
to regale myself with joys.
I have picked them up
in silk seabeds
where caresses
have petals
and kisses
taste of honey.
I have found them
among rivers of smiles
with banks
coloured with passion,
in valleys
where fields are sown
with sweetness,
on mountain tops
made of attentions
where meadows are covered
with affections.
They are the loves of life.
There is a little pearl box
in my heart
and sometimes I open it
to regale myself with joys.

The original poem is in Italian ("Il cofanetto di perle").
reading in front of a fire in winter when its raining,
the wonderful feeling of climbing a tree and reaching the highest branches,
jumping in a cool, clear river in summer,
eating fresh baked bread with butter and honey,
dancing in the rain on a warm spring day,
dancing with out a care in the world spinning and moving like the wind,
letting the beat over take my in tire body and throwing worries to the sky,
thats how you make my feel,
thats how i want you to feel,
come feel that way with me.
i don't even know what this is or where it came from
I want to build a time machine and go back to that  day.
The day I said goodbye.  
I want to take it back and have those years with you.
I want to see your eyes and feel that way again.  
I want to feel safe and awe.
Your eyes hold the universe.
I want to be a planet in them once more.
First true love, forever gone......
