had really happened as if everything was back to normal again then you asked me suddenly if I wanted a coffee or tea then asked me if I wanted to go for a walk with you through the city park, and I told you I didn’t.

To stand naked on one leg And listen to you while you

Whisper above my chest And stand in the dark – Right now I can do all that for you.

Do you remember that morning that year when you took me to the mountain Where we played hide and seek and laughed out loud And then picked some flowers, When you told me: “I like the red ones best”. Now I can give you So many pieces of an imaginary mountain So many bouquets of imaginary red flowers
