Last night
You visited me in my dream
I heard you singing
And my heart skipped a beat
I hid in a dark place, though
Watching you through the window
From afar
Making sure you couldn’t see me
I felt such a strong desire to reconnect
But I couldn’t find courage to reach out to you
The desolate place you had your piano on
It looked so hostile, it felt too raw
I walked closer to the window
Careful to not get visible
And suddenly my father showed up
Working in the field indifferent to anything
I quickly knelt in fear
I felt horrible cold
And suddenly I knew
Why I will never be able
To open up to you again
