confession

while you were gone
i drove Felix crazy
with my whinning
and whimpering
because
i mention your name
all the time

while you were gone
i shocked ate Hazel
when i threw myself
on my bed
on her bed
and on the extra bed
in our hotel room in Paris
...i whimpered
...i sighed
she knows
that i'm crazy
but she has never
seen me that crazy

while you were gone
i cruised the Sienne River
it just made me
heartsick
i was wishing that
you were there with me

while you were gone
i missed you so much
i thought about you
all the time
like
all the time

while you were gone
i cut my hair
i have no other
excuse for that
i just took
a pair of scissors
and slashed my hair

while you were gone
i went for a walk
in the forest
and talked to
the trees
the leaves
the twigs
the rocks
the birds
the wind
the rain
.....
because
there was no one else
whom i could
talk to
without driving
them crazy

while you were gone
i kept on
wishing
that you
would be home
soon
you just seem
so so far far away
i'm used to
having you far away
but not
so so so far far far away

while you were gone
i counted the days
and hours
i counted the time
before going to bed
and the moment
i wake up
in the morning

while you were gone
i went for a walk
to the glacier
i didn't mind
the harsh wind
or
the biting cold
because
you were the one
who was
on my mind

while you were gone
i have been so aware
of the days
the days were so long
the hours dragging
and i thought
that it had been
the longest 10 days
of my life

while you were gone
i kept myself busy
so that my mind
will be kept free
of thoughts of you
even for just a while
but...
well...
but....
