he was your love at first sight
and you were his
but you couldn't be two
because you couldn't be one
because your bodies are two
of same model
in his country
this is forbidden
it would be
against the system
and impossible
mathematically
you're calling him at night
in your sleepless dreams
come to me
you're trying to dream him
home to you
high in the air
invisibly
above the air traffic routes
you're trying to lift him
with all your longing
come to me
come to my country and be home to me
he's Earth seen from space
he's a star seen from Earth
he's the grain in your wheat
he's the rosy in your rose
he's the ocean for your ship
he's the songlark soaring
in your sky
you're trying to lift him through the clouds
even in your deepest sleep
your love is in the air
you're trying to dream him
home to you
high above the air traffic routes
one night soon he'll wake up
sleepless with longing
he'll pack a bag
he'll catch a train
or come running
or sailing or flying
hearing you calling
and he'll be landing
and be safe in your arms
