I never knew

2 years ago, I said I'd never be able to love again. Now I believe I never knew how to love at all.

For snart 4 år siden, troede jeg, jeg havde mødt den store kærlighed, jeg troede virkelig det var prinsen på den hvide hest. Jeg troede på det, fordi jeg håbede det, at alt smerten og ensomheden ville være væk for evigt, og at jeg aldrig ville blive afvist eller forladt igen. 

Around the corner..

Har altid elsket det her digt, jeg læste det for et par år siden, og har aldrig glemt det.

Around The Corner - By Charles Hanson Towne 

Around the corner I have a friend, 
In this great city that has no end, 
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on, 
And before I know it, a year is gone. 

And I never see my old friends face, 
For life is a swift and terrible race, 
He knows I like him just as well, 
As in the days when I rang his bell. 

And he rang mine but we were younger then, 
And now we are busy, tired men. 
Tired of playing a foolish game, 
Tired of trying to make a name. 

"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim 
Just to show that I'm thinking of him", 
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, 
And distance between us grows and grows. 

Around the corner, yet miles away, 
"Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today." 
And that's what we get and deserve in the end. 
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
