Without you

Am back from a trip
Far from the past
Had to get away from time
To forget the truth

Far away from myself
And preferably away from the present
In which you
Ever disappeared

But I’m back there now
Came across myself somewhere
I still recognized me
Had a lot to talk about

And the hands of the clock
Have begun to move slowly again
In the direction of life
Am no longer dissatisfied

I see now that even without you
The future just unfolds
Maybe not the way I wanted it
But at least I stay true to myself
There’s plenty to do
What I love
What I can do just as well alone without you

Unpack my suitcase now
It used to be a lot heavier
“I don’t want to be a beast of burden anymore
Which has to carry all kinds of things

“I threw away the junk
That seemed to slow me down
” I only want to keep the beautiful
Because then I have nothing to complain about

I see now that even without you
The future just unfolds
Maybe not the way I wanted it
But at least I stay true to myself
There’s plenty to do
What I love
What I can do just as well alone without you

I see now that even without you
The future just unfolds
Maybe not the way I wanted it
But at least I stay true to myself
There’s plenty to do
What I love
What I can do just as well alone without you
