THE DAYS AFTER LOVE
for M. E.


I remember those days and even more,
I remember your smile in the Record Store.
I remember no reason, no giving to thank,
I remember the stolen kiss in the Bank.

I remember you calling to say “I remember”,
I remember the falling in me - I surrender…
I remember the dinner at the barbecue restaurant,
I remember that night, those hours, and each instant…

I remember the sweetness of your tender lips,
I remember the tenderness that was never missed.
I remember “hello´s”, “goodbye´s”, and every word,
I remember your name which named my world…

I remember the phonecalls, the trip, the Airport Mall,
I remember exactly what is in the “Metal Ball”…
I remember the cities of Paris and Regensburg –
I remember the destinies wherever I would…

I remember as always, the future, the past,
I remember that time was always so fast.
I remember the “girl”, the “boy”, what could,
I remember me thinking: “What would…”

I remember the biggest love of them all,
I remember the love that was never small.
I remember your hands, your feet, your unforgettable face,
I remember that icebirds are not the same…

I remember myself as happy as you,
I remember me saying: “I love you”.
