whenever I see you
i’m thinking of him
i greet you
you greet me
we talk and
we talk and
we talk
we are silent because
we are thinking of him
we are silent
so long ago it is
almost forgotten
i think it is ten years
you say it is twenty
we both have forgotten
for that is much better
it soon will be thirty
we keep on forgetting
it was on a day
that was much like today
it was grey
it was cloudy
no blue in the skies
but neither did rain fall
and to our surprise we saw
specks of a rainbow
we searched and we found it
the hole in the clouds
i know not the season
because it was cloudy
it felt like the winter
when snow had all melted
but also like summer
when sunshine was missing
and we were together
together with him
i still do recall that
it was on the third
but i know not the month
and i know not the year
or the day of the week
but whenever i see
number three written down
i am thinking of you
i am thinking of him
i still do recall
how that day did begin
when it all felt exciting
for we were together
together with him
our lives seemed so splendid
our lives seemed so good and
our lives seemed eternal
for you and for me
and especially for him
we three went out strolling
although it was freezing
but it was not raining
so we went out strolling
together with him
one question keeps nagging us
who is to blame for this
this could be my fault
or this could be your fault
or this could be his fault
yes this could be his fault
we did it together
yes i did it
you did it
he did it too
they asked us what happened
but we just kept silent
they asked and they asked us
but i just kept silent
and you just kept silent
yes we both kept silent
too long and too guilty
we found not the words
not for me
not for you
not for him
we’re now linked together
forever connected
forever connected
with you and with him
whenever I see you
i’m thinking of him
