I Can't Read You

I can’t read you

Empty the mailbox. I watch it often
Where are you? Where is your letter?
I need warming up from your words
Please, don’t be cruel, words are free

I live in your idyll, imagined your life
In my room, beside me, on my bed
In my favourite walk and woodland
In my favourite cemetery and pub

In my favourite church, at the mass
Smiling, the father, we are the next
The next young couple. Our new life
Roses, beautiful flowers, gold rings

Our kiss, our yeses front of the priest
Congratulations, wonderful celebration
Hugging, loving friends, and relatives
Wedding party, dance, music, champagne

This is the beginning. Finally. Hmm, yes
The beginning. Hmm. What about next?
Live always together. Problems. Plans
Create a family. Children. Financial things

Hmm. Can we do it? Maybe. Yes. Creativity
Altogether, everything is possible. Believe it
Sure. The way is way. But our. Not standard
Can we create? Remember the smily priest? 
God

Yes. You remember. He gave us the way. Life
This way is only a path. An unknown highway
You drive? I drive? We drive. No. You are
Do. But who is the controller? And the manager?

Chose. I know. My fate. Chosen by you. Hmm
I am following your will. Okay. No pub, alcohol
Sunday church, Saturday family life. All goes
Everything is okay? I am doing my best. The all

Hmm, years and years. Year to year. Just same
Oh, this life isn’t colourful. Hmm. But valuable
Yes. Life goes on. Hmm. And my dreams go
Away with my life, I cannot love mine. Alone

Hmm. Love alone. Alone. Yes, it is possible
But for long. Time goes. I can not do that
Please, understand me. I need an opinion
The recommendation. Hand. Word. A help

How can I do it? Without the real heart?
No reality? There is no heart. Unloved
I can’t love. How? Hmm. A sinner.
Hmm. The way is God. His love. Helps

I will accept my fate
Just give me a way

I am
Alone

Yes
Need

A
Love

Loving
You

I can’t
Read
You
