Yesterday
I felt I lost you yesterday,
You’ve gone away,
Away,
I was looking for you everywhere,
But you were not there,
And I couldn’t be myself,
I was just a shadow
Of mine,
You probably never existed,
May be – just in my heart,
And I was dying from pain,
It was you dying in me,
It was me dying in you.
But my love didn’t go away,
It was alive in this flower,
My yellow chrysanthemum,
One day I’ll give it to you,
My love and my pain,
It all became
A bunch of yellow,
A field of yellow,
A world of yellow chrysanthemums,
One day I’ll give them to you.
