Was it love I felt?
Was this feeling of need real
Or just an illusion of unfulfilled yearning?
Was it just a deception of the alcohol,
Or did the sight of your nakedness
Open the scars of my loneliness?
But I thought I loved your face,
Your chestnut hair!
You seemed so fragile
And yet sure of yourself —
It might have been just my imagination
Which made you seem so near to me.
Maybe there was more between us —
You seemed to care for me,
There seemed to be affection
On your side too:
The way you laid your hand
Upon my arm,
Laughed about my silly jokes.
The time together was far to short
To know what was really true.
The parting seemed hurtful enough for us.
I don’t even have a photo of you:
For the time being
The picture in my mind is real.
I don’t know if I’ll ever
See you again
And only time may tell
If my feelings of today
Will turn out true.
