"He is far away..."

Jeg ble inspirert av min kjæreste Jonas. Da han var i Thailand denne vinteren, savnet jeg han veldig og derfor ville jeg skrive et dikt til han. 

He is far away from me.

 I miss him every day and every night.

It feels so empty and so sad to be awake…                                   

Without him by my side.

Oh Lord, I wish he knew how lost I am;                                   

All my days are grey.

I will not deny that sometimes I just want to cry,

Because I know he is never coming back.

But then, I have this dream that my beloved is always nearby,

                                   Watching if I am alright from the other side.

And then I smile, think of him as he was present.

As I try to reach him, the dream is gone…                                   

And then , again I start to cry,

Realizing that it was just another dream of mine                                  

That will never come alive.

I wish that someone could take this burden away from my shoulders,

So I could be with my loved one up there in the sky.

I am willing to give a try because deep inside,

I know I will never find a man like him…                                   

Nor this kind of love.

Make me stop to feel or take my life!

I do not want retain my life if it is no love in it.

I could rather die than live without love!

Please my lord ,take the pain away.

Release me from the burden,

Release me from those sleepless nights…                                   

And midnight tears;

So I can fly up in the sky 

To my lovely angel despite the grayness behind the cloudy sky.
