Bouquet

I wait for you by the parking entrance. The clock struck eight. A bouquet in my hand, April in my soul, But it's autumn outside. I imagine us walking, your laughter and the sparkle In your eyes. Maybe I made a mistake drowning in my Dreams. But here's a familiar silhouette, And I'm almost running. But he's by your side, I'm not there. I can't bear to see how he hugs you By the shoulders, how you're laughing with him. This wondrous evening's over. My world's suddenly empty. Another foolish hour has passed and I'm still Standing, hoping. Soaked to the skin in the rain, I knock, the doors are closed. And suddenly I see you too, you're coming out Of the cafe. It all became clear to me, it scalded my Soul. But here's a familiar silhouette, And I'm almost running. But he's by your side, I'm not there. I can't bear to see how he hugs you By the shoulders, how you're laughing with him. This wondrous evening's over. My world's suddenly empty. I come up silently. There's fog and pain in my eyes. You look at me in surprise, playing your Part. But there will be no more words. What are words for now? The bouquet flies into your face. I knew you were wrong. You're wrong. You are so wrong. But here's a familiar silhouette, And I'm almost running. But he's by your side, I'm not there. I can't bear to see how he hugs you By the shoulders, how you're laughing with him. This wondrous evening's over. My world's suddenly empty. I turned around and walked away, Leaving it all behind. Only petals fall to the floor. Goodbye, but no forgiveness.
