Are you still there on my side?
What is there that you still hide?
Emotions were just getting stronger
You could have stayed a bit longer
When the strong winds got colder
The atmosphere got a bit warmer
Those footsteps come alive now
You could have stayed a bit longer
The drops of that rain were cold
They do not feel the same anymore
Emotions were ready to drench us
You could have stayed a bit longer
The chirping of birds gave a rhythm
That silence appeared a bit calmer
Eyes got stuck at that warm smile
You could have stayed a bit longer
The times are no more the same
You are always there in the distance
Now that you are gone for ever
Your memories will stay a bit longer

Situations make us suffer, but they bring out the better artist in us. Isn’t it strange?

That’s true because they force us to make something out of a situation or make us look inside.

Or simply survive… 😉 When my father died two years ago I activated skills and discovered characteristics I would have never done without. Not only but when we are getting challenged we develop a lot faster and more intensive.

Our emotional capabilities are often hidden under the covers of our comfort. When we come out of our comfort zones, the difficulties make us a better person 🙂 🙂

your poem has reminded me of an old popular song:
“Oh, won’t you stay, just a little bit longer?…
Now please, please, please!”(the Hollies)

if “she” is far-away from you, remember that true & absolute love ignores distance…

I wish I could neglect the distance all by myself. Thanks for providing the translated version of the song. “….it flows through our veins like incandescent lava over an orchid field…” 🙂
