(klik di sini untuk versi bahasa indonesia)

to have nothing to hide isn’t how to love you
to abandon my dreams, to trust your words in my body
only stole the magic from the parisian rain
that once delivered my hopes completely to your fears

to carry the fears of the world is how you loved me
to take away all my kisses then let me stand solitarily
by an opened winter’s window of a dark tower
ready to jump away from myself for a single return kiss

a kiss that has nothing to hide
like one you let me sample on my neck on our first walk
before you tried to explain how to love safely
before i questioned how love could be inadequate
before you tasted in your own tongue finally
the fears of the world which into my body you inserted

d.o.
