Behind love

Behind love stretches
a long string of questions1
that we ask ourselves.
There lie many things.
The tears that keep weighing on our hearts
and regrets, and grudges,
dazzling memories
and visions of oblivion.
 
Give me, give me your body
to live and die in it.
Love me, love me stronger.
Keep me from destroying myself
 
What lies behind your love?
Who is this woman lying2 by my side?
When you say you love me,
is it really me you love?
And when you make love to me,
are you really making love?3
 
You forgbid me to go looking
behinf this tall black curtain.
 
Give me, give me your body
to live and die in it.
Love me, love me stronger.
Keep me from destroying myself
I need your hands on me
and your breath, and your voice,
your joys, your moans,
your cries, your fears.
 
I need your body so much
Give me, give med your body
to live and die in it.
Love me, love me stronger.
Keep me from destroying myself
Give me, give med your body
to live and die in it.
Love me, love me stronger.
Keep me from destroying myself
Give me, give med your body
to live and die in it.
Love me, love me stronger.

  • 2. French does without position verbs so I just picked the most likely one :)
  • 3. that's Johnny's philosophical thinking for you!
