HE MUST HAVE BEEN 18

I think he must have been 18

He was as fragile as a dream

Strong as a man

Seeing the summer in his eyes

I left my autumns as it flies

Like grey of silence

I added make-up to my face

As if to color some disgrace

I saw him smiling

Rainbows and colors of the spring

I would have given anything

To win his loving

I think he must have been 18

A movie star or any screen

It makes him careless

He never said a word of love

He thought that's speaking about love

Was only worthless

And then as if a lie were new

He simply whispered I want you

Let's stay together

We drifted slowly through the night

I never knew a love more right

Not since not ever

I think he must have been 18

It makes him vain and almost mean

He's looking abusing

Without a word he slowly dressed

Leaving me to my loneliness

My share of loosing

I could have try to make him mine

I let him go without a sign

My fake was lying

He said: "I am not the kind you thought"

Love is for grown-ups after all

I felt like crying

I added make-up to my face

As if to color some disgrace

I saw him smiling

I had forgotten in a dream

That I was almost twice eighteen
