Do not Love ME

Do not love me, my friend
Like your shadow
Shadows fade in the evening

And I will hold you
Until the cock crows.

Do not love me like pepper
It makes my belly hot
I cannot eat pepper
When I am hungry.

Do not love me like a pillow
One would meet in sleep
And not see each other
During the day.

Love me like a dream
For dreams are your life
In the night
And hope in the day.

I Miss You

and in the end
it all matters,
this distance that we are,
creating all this longing.

the butterflies
I feel for you,
listening to our song
on the radio,
the way I miss you
even in the early hours
of the morning.

wondering about the day
I will have you
through the night before.
