Come to me like fireflies in the dark
So I may catch you in a bottle
And look at you forever
With green light in my eyes.
Come to me like the wind on a calm day at sea
So I may steer this ship to the port
And never get on it again.
Come to me like fire trying to stay alive
On a piece of wood in the snow,
Like grass through a cracked wall,
Like an empty bottle of wine thought to be full,
Ignored by the waiter.
I just want to meet you again.
I know
That it's like trying to complete a jigsaw puzzle
With a leaf for a missing piece,
Like trying to create railway tracks
By driving trains in the desert.
It just doesn’t work.
I kick the door and hurt my feet,
I jump into the water and drown.
I kiss in my dreams
And dance alone in a room,
Pretending like Tchaikovsky plays in the background.
Sometimes they knock and I don’t answer,
Sometimes they tell and I don’t open the door.
I must be sleeping.
Yes.
And I wait for you to kiss me,
Dance with me,
Awaken me.
I am asleep.
