WHEN YOU ARE AWAY

 

When you are away a half of me is not here,

and I don’t know what to do with my other half

I con her with some words of lullaby

that you will come back soon with a hug,

you will come back to get warm by your fire

you, my dear Knight.

When you are away,

I don’t know what to do with myself.

I spend my time

of waiting.

I transform myself in an eye and ear:

for a bell to ring, for a new message on msn,

a love messenger from you.

When you are away

your scent around the house makes me shiver.

I start imagining the minute when you’ll come

I try to make the world little,

so little that will not have any distance,

and I can kiss you with much longing,

when you’ll come back in my bosom.

When you are away,

I hate the distance

I challenge the wait.
