Answering Machine [poem]

We can't do it, my love!
We can't hurt each other anymore
We can't see sunshine together
Because there's no light
There're no stars in the sky
There's no rainbow after it rains...
Please, be sensible my love
We can t do it anymore.

Look after yourself
And don't try to do anything silly
Just because we are not together.
We can't do it
We are not together...
I can't be close to you
And I have my reasons for that
I'm a different person
And you're a different person as well
But since I've arrived here...
I don't know
Maybe my behavior has changed.

What I would like to say to you is...
We can't do it
I can't be close to you...
Our love
Our feelings...
It's not going to work.

You know
My feelings for you are real
They are genuine
They are original
But it's not going to work...
I'm so sorry !
We can't do it !
We can't be together !

I hope you pick up this message
From your answering machine...
And be able to forgive me.

Bip !!!!!
