Such a bastard, I am.. Allright- let me show you what one can do with a subject like this.

'I am counting the days
I am waiting for the moment
when I'm going to have to stay in this place
where you will be
no longer

moving
moving away from me without
fading

I am counting your smiles
I already hunger for the ones
that soon will be gone except the one preserved
with photographical sharpness
in my mind

longing
longing already for the rest of you
crying'


If you're interested to know: it cost me 45 minutes, 3 revisions and 8 corrections and I made a mess of the rhyme. But nobody ever said that poetrywriting is easy.

By the way; one of La Gore's mid-sixty recordings was called 'Moving away'... I hope she won't drag me to court.
