I am not running from actuality.
Reality is my home.
I’m making sense of tomorrow… I’m waiting prepared.
Pragmatically, I’m in a dialogue with happiness.
I’m not bothered by insecurity… you are the most wanted goal.
My head is not in the clouds… I’m standing on a pavement of my town.
I’m resigning from grand requests… I am devoted only to the wish.
With sensible step I’m walking to give you breath by motivation.
I am always worried only about dropping my keys through a grate into
the town sewer,
therefore, I clutch them, even when I have them in my pocket.
I am worried the same way only when you are far away,
I am worried the same way only when I am far away,
and I ask myself
then,
and I’m asking myself now
if you love me the same.
