Raindrops fell on the glass.
Suddenly, I felt longing for you.
We both live in the same city,
And seldom do we see each other.
It seemed a bit strange to me
How this autumn came, this morning.
Overcast skies without a single star,
And rain without a rainbow in between.
And the ancient saying of Heraclitus
Suddenly came to mind today, damn:
“The awake are together in the world,
While the asleep are alone.”
In what dream have we fallen so badly,
That we won’t wake up at all?…
Raindrops fell on the glass,
And, for you, suddenly, I felt longing.
