I wanted to love you in exchange for everything I had, but look, how I've forgotten... I have nothing at all to call everything!
I have a heart like a little sparrow, a body soft as a rabbit, countless drops of tears, a pair of eyes tired from staying awake night after night, and a few tablets of sleeping pills. Tell me, do any of these have market value? Why would anyone buy these things, tell me?
In fierce fever I find calm thinking of you, I chase away the tremors chanting your name. I convince myself, I must stand up, I must live for you.
When did I ever want to live so desperately before? I can't even remember! Now I seem charged to my throat with the burden of staying alive! As long as I live, the possibility remains that I might hold you close and breathe in your scent. I will wait.
You don't believe in telepathy or anything like that. I do. Right now you're sitting by my head, I can see you. The fever will break soon, stay a little longer; just like this, in silence.
