Embrace Poem by Roger Bewman

Embrace

Rating: 5.0


How did we end up here and tomorrow
seems like yesterday for the both of us?
I know you are leaving me in the morning,
always you before me,
and you will be watching me
sleeping like an infant.
The door gently you will close behind,
but a dream of yours I will have stolen silently.

How did time pass! it feels like yesterday
the tomorrow we were waiting for, so tell me...
tell me just a few words, true, like the old times
and love me from the beginning.
Just a few words,
like you always asked dawn to come late
so that we could stay longer in each other’s arms.

Look for me into the darkness,
hide me inside your kiss,
guard me so I’m not afraid,
just hold me.

The translation was made from my brother Niko. This song was sang by Elefteria Arvanitaki one of the two great singers that sang at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games 2004 in Athens.
