Like a fish

Like a fish freshly taken out of sea
Desperate to go back;
Was my hope desperate for you.

Like the desperation that makes the fish shiver,
Turn upside down, flip and flop,
Trying to survive on her last reserves,
Just for a second more;
Was how desperate hope made me for you.

And when all the struggle finally looses its strength
when she finally gives up that last breath
The sea that she so much longed for,
The sea that so much meant to her,
Looses its meaning to death;
So has your "I love you", lost on me.
