Once Knew

I'm crazy to think
that it will change
that love won't age
and then it's over in a blink

And even though it's senseless
I scream out your name
but it's all the same
tortured and restless; hopeless and careless

Don't try to be my friend
Don't worry I know it's the end
Be on your way
And save it for another lady

You had all the charm
You had power and title
You opened yourself at the start
Drifted apart but give back my heart

But it's no use
No more tears
just fears
unknown
walking alone

Be by myself
take one last look
And open
That new chapter
new book

Don't try to be my friend
Don't worry I know it's the end
Be on your way
And save it for another baby

Now that's it's over
Now that we're through
Goodbye to you
So long mr. who I once knew

A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

Albert Einstein
