A Beautiful Disaster

I'm breathing you - I'm suffocating,
As I can never get enough;
When opening my eyes each morning,
I wish I'd never woken up
Without your gentle arms around me,
I'm shackled by your gravity;
Eternal hours of longing
Are fetter - set my wrecked heart free.

I miss the days of that December,
They separated 'now' and 'then'.
Your warming glance, your voice, so tender -
It is my all right since its end.
Before that all I only knew
You were the one. I knew exactly.
But now I see that life is you!

When something's lost, you find its essence,
You get to know what is true
While looking through the prism
Of lovely wasted adolescence
Just like, I guess, we both do.
And nothing's ever been as painful
As just one haunting bitter thought:
Where would we be, what could have happened
If we... If then... If just... If not?..
