Then there you are.
it's been a long time since i have been surprised by something.
i am still wondering why.
how did you caught me off guard
you were very far away from my mind.
my thoughts, my feelings.
then one day,
you are all three.

Switzerland.
alps. you always wanted to come here.
log cabin.
fire.
you, me, our feelings.
i was waiting for you.
knock on the door.
guitar in arm.
i saw you there.
you dropped everything & kiss me.
we shut the door.
you pulled me towards the bed.

Paris.
cobblestones
underneath the cafe chairs.
french pastry. with cream
butter in my coffee.
notepad on the table.
fancy pen.
writing this.
Eiffel tower in the distance.
camera in hand. my lover.
taking pictures.
looked at me. smile.
he walked back towards me.
lifted my chin to his face.
we kiss.

Marriot. China.
i saw you walked in, backpack.
front desk.
parcel for you.
Bleu de chanel.
your phone rang. you put it in your ear.
tap on your back.
you turned around.
our eyes locked.
you hugged me tightly.
i love you.

Saigon.
walking through the maze of motorcycles.
makeup ruined. heat. smile
your plane lands at 1300 hours.
bar.
cocktail in hand.
1500 hour.
saw you walked in with your suitcase.
jitters. flutters.
you walked towards me.
i stood up & throw you a hug.
we kissed.
you open your mouth.
i tasted tobacco.
so you smoked after landing, that's why it took you longer to get to me.
hand in hand. elevator. going up.

Gendarmenmarkt Berlin.
coffee. apple strudel.
you saw her walking towards you.
hi. hi.
you stepped closer to her.
how are you?
good. and you?
better, now you're here.
you grabbed her waist.
looked her in the eyes.
i love you.
you grabbed her closer.
kiss her full on the lips.
she wrapped her arms around your neck.
she returned your kiss.
then you both needed air.
she looked you in the eye.
and said....

Right

I don't want them to hear me

I just want you to listen

I don't want my name in neons

Just you, whispering them

I don't long for the fur coats

 Your arms are warm enough

I don't want the Princes' kisses

Cause your lips are all I want

What am I going to do with forever?

If you are not there with me.

What are stars for?

When it only shines on me.

The diamonds on my fingers

Are not sparkling enough

Only your eyes will make them shine

Your smile is gem enough.

The roar of your laughter

Are thunder in my skies.

The sunshine of your love

sends warmth into my cold cold nights

No money is near enough

If you can't show me how

To spend my time

With you astride. With me, is just right.

Taking the last steps
To say my goodbyes
Don't know how long I can hold on
Don't know if I can try

Going back to you
To face the truth
That it's over
That you're gone.

Heavy burden
Carrying this load
On my last few steps
Going back to you

I hope I can say it, I hope I can try
Let you go, let you fly
Like the angels' wings
In the summer skies

I can now see the sun
Peeking in the sky
Will you be there?
To help me say my goodbyes.
