YOU GO TO SLEEP EARLY
Look at me now and I upon you,
I’ll look upon you.
This is not the beginning,
Or after two years, or three
This is not the end,
But I’m not at your side,
And you’re not by mine.
But what do you call this distance,
That separates you now,
That separates me from you,
There’s distance between us.
You go to sleep early
I’m up late at night
You speak Hebrew,
But I don’t understand.
It’s not good between us.
(x2)
We can’t hide ourselves
From the two of us.
I don’t know how to understand
what passes upon us.
How suddenly we have nothing
I’m already not yours,
And you’re already not mine.
But it’s very scary,
To feel it without talking about it,
To wait until there’s no more
Fog between us.
You go to sleep early...
