They

At first, there were they – powerful and carrying,
Always there: so close, but so far.
You can hide only if you hide from yourself too.

Then, there were they – running, shouting so loud,
Craving for everything they see.
You stopped being there since you’d hurt one of them.

But all the time you were wondering
If there is someone else out there,
But they were there,
They were, they were, they were everywhere.

Next, there were thy – handsome, lustful, so confident
That you’ll need them; what a strange belief.
You left that party just before it had begun.

Then, there were they – little, funny, silly, but sweet,
Needing you so desperately.
You found out there is not much you can give them.

But all the time you were wondering
If there is someone else out there,
Yes, all the time you were struggling
For someone.

At last, there were they – wanting you to live for them,
To be the way they see you, how could that be?
You stayed there for too long, don’t you think it’s time to li(/ea)ve now?

Cause there must be someone just for you,
Yes, there should be someone for sure.
Just stop and look: you’ll see,
You’ll feel, you’ll know, you’ll be.
