Remember?

You remember? Rustle of poplars.

For us the whole world was a cozy room.

May Evening went around, 

a little drunk because of love,

and an organ somewhere sang for us.

Do you remember?

But time went on;

someone extinguished a light in the windows,

and you extinguished your cigarettes often.

You were older than I was, 

and nobly remembered about it

Understand: I am not afraid of gray hair!

I still love you with my heart,

and you are very necessary to me.

Together with all your long years!

You remember? Trees were yellow.

You went away from me along wet grass into October.

The sky fell. The last flowers cried.

And you looked back. Remember?
