Behind the eyes

“The moon’s reflection on the rippling water – how it moves my heart”

Ryōkan Taigu – Japanese poet and zen monk

Music accordingly by The Who – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmbCOMM8peo

It’s strange
...
That persistance
Of my feelings
About You

You have done much
To deter
My affection
And I have done
My best
As well

I know
I’m not
What you want
And I know
I’m not
And I’m not probably
What you need
But that
Nobody ever knows

Don’t get it wrong
I’m not particularly
Harsh on myself
There are qualities
In me
People love and admire
Won’t brag
About them
I’ve given You
Enough chance
To be currious
About what makes me
Me
But You’re not

So we are
Not
Even an inch closer
To each other
Ever since we met
Sometimes
It feels
Like that distance
Is even growing

Sometimes
(Most of the time)
You feel so
Distant
So indiffrent
So cold
And I still know
You are not

You just know
What I know
That our planets
Belong to
Different constalations
And there’s
No spaceship yet invented
No teleporter of kind
To reach You
And the fucking Universe
Is still expanding
Widening the gap
Between us
Every second

Yet I still want
To spend
Every second
Of the rest of my life
On getting a bit closer
To You
