I now
realise how life ‘has to be.’ I really know how it could have been. So, I say “good bye” to my ‘idealistic’ dream. Not “auf wiedersehen” to any of you. I have been forced to adhere to your ‘Morale Conduct.’ The rules that you have laid down. They where formulated before my existence. Now, no room is there for my heart. To conform to this expectation, I have to part with my hearts ‘true emotion.’ Life and love could have been so much more. However, to ‘true emotion’ I say, “Au revoir.” This thing called emotion packs in a few friends when it’s forced away. These friends must simply go along. If they stay, they’ll bring remembrance all the time. I will say “farewell” to them, one by one. “Regret”, you will have to go. You have kept me honest and faithful. If you hang around, I will go insane. So, “adios”, don’t stay behind. “Love”, I’ll miss you my friend. Just the thought of you leaving brings me to tears. I have shared my life with you, but you can not stay, “So long!” “Compassion”, you are next. You will rekindle my heart with love. Thank you for assisting my friends. You have become dangerous, “arrivederci” my comrade. Then there is “truthfulness”. I will have to deceive my heart, to greet all of you from there. Your honesty was endearing, but “ta-ta”, it is the end. I have tried to part with just these few, but I simply could not stand the pain. So, I say “sorry” to all your expectations. I can only live this life my own unique way. |
