At night , in the deep silence,
When my heart still thinks of you,
Nothing else has more importance,
That my eyes which say :I miss you.

But as a mirage, you are not there.
And your skin which I touch with my fingertips,
Mixes the images which I see everywhere
Reminding me that it's just filmstrips.

When the hours go on tireless, on the slowing.
Everything in me capsizes and so i'm evading you,
My heart soaks in the love which is drowning,
I close my eyes, I am missing you.

I wait then for sleep, I wait to forget,
But my heart on the alert.
Doesn't stop looking for you,
I cannot sleep, I am missing you.

The night seizes me, hard thoughts across,
I flee all which is not you.
Some moments, I'm getting lost,
And my lips are searching for you.

Your skin slowly on mine skipping,
And the fever which is growing,
But my dream goes away , where are you?
There is only me, me missing you.
