Yes, I do love him,

so I know more about him --


than is good for me.


Ja, ik houd van hem,Ja, ich liebe ihn,
dus weet ik meer over hem --und ich weiß mehr über ihn --

dan goed voor mij is.als gut für mich ist.

Zywa Stroke the skin of my soul

Are you coming, today
I like to look at you again
laugh with you
and listen to you

Come, walk around
in my house, let me
look at you, the step aside
the tension of your buttocks

and your lips
that will kiss me
your hands that are allowed
to do everything I long for

I will not ask too much from you
you don't have to commit yourself
not for longer than I live
not to what you fear

You don't have to take care of me
just leave me alone
when I'm sick
It's enough

that you think of me
