In volle vaart

Het is niet zonder
enige spanning
dat ik zoek
naar een bladzijde

die me meer vertelt
dan enkel woorden
die ik lees
maar niet begrijp

Af en toe
een tekening
toont me
jouw geluk

Niets of niemand
kan beweren
dat ik niet mijn best
heb gedaan

alles te vergeten

Internet

Ik denk niet dat je beseft
hoe vroeg de ochtend kan zijn
als je droomt
in een zoete mist

Dat de wereld rond zal draaien
misschien niet centrifuge
zonder relativiteit
van afstand

Het heeft veel pijn gedaan
maar ik heb me ingehouden
niet dat het anders
veel beter was geweest

Je leest soms
de grootste dingen
in het kleinste
gebaar

Ik zal wachten.

Stilte nu!

Remonte haalt het vuur
uit je pen

Je moet vergeten
hoe goed het was
vandaag

zodat we hopen kunnen
dat morgen alles
slechter gaat

en de donkere inkt
kan vloeien

Despair In The Departure Lounge (Arctic Monkeys)

He's pining for her
In a people carrier
There might be buildings and pretty things to see like that
But architecture won't do
Although it might say a lot about the city or town
I don't care what they've got keep on turning them down
It don't say the funny things she does
Don't even try and cheer him up, because
It just won't happen

He's got the feeling again
This time on the aeroplane
There might be tellys in the back of the seats in front
But Rodney and Del won't do
Although it might take your mind off the aches and the pains
Laugh when he falls through the bar
But you're feeling the same
'Cause she isn't there to hold your hand
She won't be waiting for you when you land

It feels like she's just nowhere near
You could well be out on your ear
This thought comes closely followed by the fear
And the thought of it
Makes you feel a bit
Ill

Yesterday I saw a girl
Who looked like someone you might knock about with
And almost shouted
And then reality kicked in within us
It seems as we become the winners
You lose a bit of summat
And half wonder if you won it at all

And don't say 'owt 'cause you've got no idea
And she's still nowhere near
And the thought comes closely followed by the fear
And the thought of it
Makes you feel a bit
...Ill

Despair in the departure lounge
It's one and they'll still be around at three
No signal and low battery
What's happened to me

At least it was (Emiliana Torrini)

I thought I saw you on the train
I hid behind some men
I had never seen you look so good
I'm glad you're doing well

I went out for a walk today
To think of things unsaid
Of course I found I'd said too much
So I laid all that to rest

And when the day falls
I guess it was love
And when the day falls
At least it was

You thought of the name to call me
I guess that's how it goes
I know a few with the same name
Yes, I'm sad I'm one of those

Ungraceful as I am in loving
And leaving I'm the same
It's way too late to say I'm sorry
But I'll say it anyway

And when the day forwards
I guess it was love
And when the day forwards
At least it was
