Tell me who are you- <br />A miscreant or a good soul, <br />A rich man or a poor person? <br />Tell me, <br />What are your thoughts when you`re alone <br />And what are your dreams, <br />Who flies with you on nights? <br />Tell me, who are you, <br />How many masks do you wear <br />Ten, score or more? <br />You better look right into your soul <br />To give me the answer honest and simple <br />And then, I may with you stay <br />As well as I may melt away <br />All depends on the answer I gain <br /> <br />Tell me who are you- <br />A cunning person or a simpleton, <br />A wise man or a clown <br />Who doesn`t know himself what`s his goal <br />Sort it out to get who you are <br />And find me even if I`m too far <br />To tell what shall I do <br />To wait or run away from you <br />To believe or despise enough for two <br />To hate or love again, so true... <br />Promise, you won`t let our love die, <br />Till then goodbye... <br /> <br />And I for one give my promise <br />To wait, remember, hope and believe <br />To keep for you the sweetest kiss <br />For the sake of your return oneday <br />You will come back from far away <br />Your way home won`t be easy <br />But you will find me ever <br />And stay with me forever... <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The poem is N17 in my list not by chance, it was written in Winter of 2000- my seventeen.
