It’s like a dance which starts slow and gradually builds up to a peak

Two strangers do the dance of the dark until both are weak

I love my darling so much yet I don’t remember the name

My sweetheart said a lot of things that I forget after I came

 

I am with my lover, but I still need a lover

Why I feel more alone now I wonder

I kiss with my eyes wide open to see that this is wrong

But that person grabs my mike and continues the song

 

Now we are spent we have nothing more to say

What do I ask a person that I need just for today?

Do I complement a face wearing the dark as a mask?

Don’t turn on the lights till am ready to do the task

 

And that person starts to dress without the promise of being loved

But am I bad because I am glad that the problem is solved?

And the movie is rewound back to the very start

Today another darling of a stranger to “love” for a day before I depart
