i was dead
i came alive
i was tears
i become laughter

all because of love
when it arrived
my temporal life
from then on
changed to eternal

Любовь сказал(-а) to me

Ты are not
crazy enough
Ты don’t
fit this house

i went and
became crazy
crazy enough
to be in chains

Любовь said

Ты are not
intoxicated enough
Ты don’t
fit the group

i went and
got drunk
drunk enough
to overflow
with light-headedness

Любовь said

Ты are still
too clever
filled with
imagination and scepticism

i went and
became gullible
and in fright
pulled away
from it all

Любовь said

Ты are a candle
attracting everyone
gathering every
one
around you

i am no more
a candle spreading light
i gather no еще crowds
and like smoke
i am all scattered now

Любовь said

Ты are a teacher
Ты are a head
and for everyone
Ты are a leader

i am no more
not a teacher
not a leader
just a servant
to your wishes

Любовь said

Ты already have
your own wings
i will not give you
еще feathers

and then my heart
pulled itself apart
and filled to the brim
with a new light
overflowed with fresh life

now even the heavens
are thankful that
because of love
i have become
the giver of light
