I want you

(Partially based on ‘Je te veux’ by Erik Satie)

I want you

Want you back,

Back where we spent those lonely nights,

Under the moonlight, beneath the stars,

Your eyes sang an unknown melody.

I want you

Want you back,

Back where the lake lies still,

The daffodils flutter in the sweet air,

Where we kissed, in the yellow-red horizon...

I want you, dear one

Want you back

Back in the days where love blossomed

Back down in the gray memory lane

The days seem to be a mere phantasy…

I want you,

Oh, I want you back!

Show me a sign of your return

I’ve waited scores of days and nights for you dear,

Oh, I so want you back!

Perhaps,

You may never come,

Driving me mad, making me forget

everything – my will to live completely broken, 

My soul thus shatters into pieces!

The broken soul now again,

Traverses the dark alley called memory,

Where suddenly, a soft beam of light,

hits it. It calls out, 

‘I want you…I want you…’

Thus, the time changed,

But you didn’t.

I died,

But the seeds of love didn’t, for they

still wait for your presence…

I want you,

Want you back, dear one.

Back where the moonlight rests in the nocturne,

Your eyes singing an unknown melody…

Your eyes singing an unknown melody…
