"The sky has no limit",
You said to me once.
I knew that your spirit
Was none of a dunce.
I knew you were special -
You always have been.
Anti-superficial
And dearest to me.
"Attachment will vanish",
You said to me once
When I was just dying
In front of your glance.
"Attachment will vanish,
And that's right your case".
You didn't believe me
And my tearful face.
"Attachment will vanish,
And that's just your case,
But love can stay longer
And not leave your space".
I argued, insisted
Through thick and through thin.
You tried to convince me
In this wrongful sin.
So what do we have now?
The things you had felt -
Attachment and loving -
They seem to have left.
If so, was it love then
If now it is gone?
'Cause I still can feel it
Through veins going on.
For you they both vanished,
As far as I see.
My love and attachment
Are gasping with me.
They hold on to one thing
And it's senseless hope.
I keep them for nothing
But can't let them go.
It's been lots of hours,
And minutes much more.
But these goddamn "flowers"
Don't die on the floor.
Wish I were like you then -
Forgave and forgot.
But dreams still remind me:
I
Did
Not.
