Can I speak to you a moment
'cause I feel a bit alone
when there's nobody around me
even no one on the phone

Can I speak to you a moment
'cause I want to very much
Or do you think that it is crazy
to put this question as such

Can I speak to you a moment
or would you rather I did not
But in times I feel such need for
not have the loneliness I've got

Can I speak to you a moment
this is what I need to say
Even when not always friendly
I do love people anyway

Dear Kathleen,

I hope the !!! were not ment for me personally. I wrote this poem several years ago (in Dutch) when a friend pulled a nasty trick on me. But I honestly must admit, it sounds better in the Dutch language.

Love ya

I know those kind of feelings, guess we all have them at times.. I don't think it lost anything in the translation. I really like your writing and I'm having a good time reading all of them.
