You are alone, man, alone
among everything else.
You were born alone,
you will leave alone.
A step, two, you think you are
walking with someone else
but he is already ahead of you
or got left behind.
A moment, two, you think you
are leaning onto another person,
(similar) like you - but instead
you were warming up with a stranger!
You couldn't find an eye
that could have endured your gaze
or a hand that wouldn't have
slid off yours.
Friend's thoughts are old and
sweetheart's breast is cold.
Only the lips move, breast is motionless.
You find a friend for play
not for real joy or sorrow (pain).
Your feelings, even the strongest,
may dwindle away by themselves.
A friend (sweetheart) has been
created for you by your own
longing, a dream that will
disappear when you walk
toward it.
So, you are alone, man,
alone among everything else.
You were born alone
you will leave alone.
You will hide your mistakes
alone and you will cry your
tears alone.
The only faithful is your
own shadow.
......If you are with someone who understands this you are with a true friend..........

Just beautifui...Full with sorrow yet beautiful!!It makes me think of the true meaning of frienship in our lives and how hard it is to find people who are honest to you and care about you!!I think you will need a pinch of optimism to go through this thing called life if i have the right to advice you..Fortunately friendship has not yet become such a random thing and you should trust yourself to find it!!!
