The Lover and the Friend
28th of July, 2003
Where do you go? Where do you go?
           Far from here, back to home
When return? When return?
           Only when my love for you has grown

Still there's much to see, much to show
            But I already seen much of you
Tell me not to leave; tell me not so
            Where has your love been grown to?

Then would you stay for my love?
             I can't, please understand
Then can I come for the sake of my love?
             Nay, you truly belong in your own land

Why you hurt my heart
My love, my sweet love?
             'Tis not mine to have
             My friend, my darling one

Then freely I give it to you
My love, my sweet love!
              Alas! for you, I turn it down
              My friend, my darling one

You must now go, you must now go
               I too hear the call of my leave
Again we'll meet! Again we'll meet!
               I'm sure we will someday

What does time mean for one in love?
               And what for a friendship?
You bear the answer, my dame
               But you too know the means of my words

And there she goes, off to home
               Now I admit; I miss him
Time, my enemy, will keep me waiting
               But now it's too late, too late

Why you hurt my heart
My love, my sweet love?
               'Tis not mine to have
               My friend, my darling one

Then freely I give it to you
My love, my sweet love!
               Alas! for you, I turn it down
               My friend, my darling one
This date is exactly one year after 301!!
