I once told you I love you
Days later you asked if I meant it
I had always loved you
Since we were children playing in the sandpit
But now I'm older
And not surrounded by my love for you anymore
Like a dead body in the ocean
My love must've been washed ashore
My heart only beat for you
But now you're gone
And when my heart stays with you and stops beating
Then how am I supposed to move on?
I never drink my tea with sugar
That's something you never knew
I only kept drinking my tea with sugar
Cause you drink it like that too
You've moved away from me
I always thought that this will happen when we grow
I don't know what I am without loving you
But I guess I'll be able to let you go
And I'll find another pair of lips
That I can cling to
And I know, that by then
I won't wish that tose lips belong to you.
This is easily one of my favourite poems. I just love how metaphorical and deep it is and I think a lot of people can also relate to the feeling of losing something that has always been there with or for them and now isn't. In that moment, you don't really know what to do. It's as if Saturn lost it's rings, that's why the poem's called Saturn.
