Unvergesslich
Original ca. erschienen Dezember 2008
Do you remember how it was
Do you remember how it was
Childhood ... wonderful ...
The world is colorful and beautiful.
I lift my head The sun stings my face. A shadow darkens them for a moment. Then you let yourself fall on the grass next to me. Hear it rustle. Feel your closeness
Close my eyes again YOU are there, what should happen to me?
But I know it's actually the other way around. We are the ones to protect, our friends.
Sit me up Put my glasses on my nose and take a look at the lake. How beautiful it glitters! And in it two cocky boys spraying each other wet.
Turn my head around See your laugh and hear the voice again that tells me we are friends!
You blow a black strand off your face and wave to the boys. One comes, the other trolls away.
Then there are three of us. Everything is still fine. The first year ... what should happen! We are still children! Children with a great friendship!
You laugh at something and the other pouts. I put my arm around him and whisper something. Immediately your laughter is back too!
Yes, it was our carefree time!
-------------------------------------------------- ---
Until you realize at some point
That not everyone means goodbye
There is also a reunion
Now here I am. The house creaks around me. The others look at me in surprise. Only you smile
How was that possible?
Why are you here?
I said goodbye to you ages ago!
You left a black one in my heart And now are you standing here?
You say something. Explain something to me. I am beginning to understand!
Naturally! The solution so clear!
I was stupid!
Finished with you guys!
Can you forgive me
-------------------------------------------------- ----------
Always forward, step by step ... There is no way back!
And what is now will never go undone.
Get off. My heart is pounding against my ribs. See the house. The destroyed house. See you, see her.
Hear him. Pick him up, stroke his cheek. A scar shines on your forehead.
My pain rises in my head. I find it hard to understand!
How could you go
Footsteps behind me. I turn around. See one of our old friends. Big and wild.
I just sob the following words. Have a suspicion!
He thinks I should give him your son, he should go to the relatives he still has.
But I don't want to! I'm his godfather, I'll be fine.
Maybe it is the feeling of leaving you forever that moves me to do so?
He refuses. Said the headmaster would have wanted it that way and it was for his safety!
One last look at him and I'll pass your last keepsake on to our friend.
I give him my motorcycle. I do not need it anymore. I will do one last task. I will avenge you.
And then I pull out my wand.
-------------------------------------------------- -----------
[i]We are running out of time, what is done is done.
What is now will never happen again.I sniff. Like the last two hours before. I still can't understand that it's all over now.
We're sitting here on the train. Our seventh year is over. We are driving towards our future. But what kind of future do I have? My life was always with you! How am I supposed to live without you?
You put your arm around me See your black eyes and lean against your shoulder.
You know how hard it is for me I have no future in front of me, not for him at the moment. I don't want to have any work, I can't afford an apartment.
What should I do!
You whisper something and you stroke my head. He is always there for me. He'll help me.
The train slows down. I cry I trust you.
But since our first year I have dreamed that this would never happen!
And now?
-------------------------------------------------- ---------
[i]Said one word too much in anger,
Dared to take a step forward.
It's already over.
I rush into the tower. Still see his grin in front of me.
What did I do there?
Feel guilty. I dared too much and lost too high!
Open the door. Your face says your questions, but I just shake you.
Horrified, I tell you what I did. What I did to him.
You get mad. Yell at me Look for your cloak and stumble out.
I know you will do it. You are our hero!
I can only hope I didn't make him a killer.
Hours go by. I'm awake. Search the stars in the sky.
Then you're there. Still mad. I see.
But you don't blame me. Explain to me that you saved him and he had to go to the headmaster. He had to be silent now, about the secret that he now knew.
And the thought circled in my head:
Will he ever forgive me for betraying him?
-------------------------------------------------- ---
Whatever done now,
What I said is said
And what seemed like forever is already the past.
I cover my mouth with my hand. What did I say?
I said "yes"!
He smiles at me. He grins. As if a dream that had been going on for years would come true.
I swallow.
That's it then with my stubbornness. I have to tell him. Tell him how much I love him.
He tousles his hair. Please do it again!
He takes my hands. Ask me if this is really true.
I nod slowly.
Of course it's true!
I embrace you.
You stroke my red hair. Whisper your love in my ear and I smile.
Then the past is over!
Now my future begins with you!
-------------------------------------------------- ----------
[i]Oh, and if I could only turn the clock backwards once,
Because how much of what I know today I would rather never have seen.
Shocked, I leave. I run out of the house. Into the night that is filled with a green glow.
The death sign hovers over the house.
I'm sinking
How could anyone do such a thing?A hand was on my shoulder. I knew who that was.
I asked you quietly. And your answer was simple but comforting.
We will help the rest of the people! Against this enemy.
But so many more died by then!
The little boy who was lying there in the house. His teddy bear in one arm. The eyes are empty.
The mother lying over a baby.
The man, stretched out on all fours, is lying on the stairs.
All the sadness rose up inside me again.
I know you feel the same way, but you can handle it. For some reason I don't know
Maybe because of your family?
I swear to fight to the end!
-------------------------------------------------- -----------
[i]Your life just turns in circles,
So full of wasted time
and you push your dreams endlessly in front of you.
Alone again. A room. A window. Same prospect. Same people. Same life.
A bed. A cabinet. A man. Same eyes. Same hair.
As always.
I still wanted to do so much. Wanted to help, wanted to live. But now everything is broken.
I've been putting everything off for a month. Shut up, get cold
And over and over again I read the newspaper clipping.
<... died in an attack by Who-Whose-Name-Not-May-Be-Named. Only her one-year-old son was recovered healthy. According to the ministry, he had stopped the magician. He the boy who survived! >
And his parents were dead! A terrible price!
Would all of this have happened if I was there?
Could I have prevented it?
I still wanted to do so much!
You still want to live someday,
But if not today, then when ...?
Because at some point a dream was too long ago.
Childhood ... wonderful ...
The world is colorful and beautiful.
