Haze

 

The cold foggy days of December in Graz

A little too many drinks I’ve had

Waiting in the haze of golden yellow

Streetlights, making me (almost) sad

 

(Almost) uncertain and (almost) numb

My ache has entered a new lane

A rare peace, the same yearning

I think of love and it drives me insane

 

What would having a guy change?

He’d sit with me, tell me I am nice

Either with love or a lonely lust

Either way the answer won’t suffice

 

At least not in the long run

Will he stay, will I stay, doesn’t matter

It won’t stay fresh forever anyway

Whatever builds up, is destined to shatter
