Sometimes It Happens

Sometimes it happens
That you are friends
And then you are not friends
And friendship has passed
Whole days are lost
And among them a fountain
Empties itself

Sometimes it happens
That you are loved
And then you are not loved
And love has passed
Whole days are lost
And among them a fountain
Empties itself
Into the grass

Sometimes you want to speak to him
And then you do not want to speak
And then the opportunity has passed
Your dreams flare up
They suddenly vanish

Also it happens
That there is nowhere to go
And then there is somewhere to go
And you have bypassed
The years flare up
And are gone quicker than a minute
So you have nothing

You wonder if these things
Matter and then
They cease to matter
And caring is past
And a fountain
Empties itself
Into the grass

Sometimes it happens
That you are friends
And then you are not friends
And friendship has passed
Whole days are lost
And among them a fountain
Empties itself

And sometimes it happens
That you are loved
And then you are not loved
