My Dear German Girl

I drink coffee and think of you

I think of your green eyes

Your thin lips

That conquered my heart

***

I don't feel free

It's been two years I don't see you

You left and abandoned the city

Maybe it was my fault

***

I knew you when you were 15

I was 18

Society did not accept us

They called me a "craddle robber"

***

Morever you were a girl

I was also a girl

With a low voice

Today I have a beard

***

Today I have gone grey

It's been 15 years

That I love you

I drown in loneliness

***

Do you remember how we used to walk

Hand in hand?

You were attracted by graveyards

You are such a goth

***

You liked black clothing

White sweaters

Most of my life

I have dressed like a boy

***

I remember when I kissed your forehead

When you were married

It felt like a century

You closed your eyes

***

I used to kiss your lips

When we were in high school

I didn't dare do more

Someone had hurt you

***

I went to avenge you

But you stopped me

I cried upon your shoulder

You are a head taller

***

I still love you

You no longer speak to me today

I wish I could turn back time

O, my dear one!

***

My dear German girl, my green-eyes

How fiercely I love you!

My dear German girl, my green-eyes

How fiercely I love you!
