To the very end you addressed me formally, and never once spoke to me informally
I learned to wait, to suffer
You watched me and then you talked about parting
I didn't ask why, where to
You heard me laughing with all the others
And you knew well that none of them mattered to me
You saw them pampering me day after day
Giving me unwanted compliments
Not a word out of your mouth, you had time
No sound from mine, for I had honor
I acted so cool; a hint of you
I would have followed you into infinity
No summer was as great and clear as that one
We foolishly wasted it
But now that the children's game is over
We realize that it was the last one
As soon as you left it started raining
I knew that's how an ending begins
Because we will never again meet those
who are destined for us
