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!!!
