Without you, I was not.
With you, much better here.
Gladly?: Oh, if only there weren’t such a bad thing…
Reluctantly? But I’m staying because you exist.
How long? As long as there are still days.
Mine or yours?
Only together are there more than none.
Without you, I wasn’t here.
Without you, I don’t like it.
Because sometimes I like being here with you.
Would you like that? Oh, if only it weren’t for the terrible things…
Reluctantly? But I’m staying here.
Because you are still with me.
Where?
Here on earth, because of you…
I can handle the heaviness.
When it pulls me to the ground…
You are my high song.
– Until everything just pulls me into the depths –
And if nothing and no one keeps me here on earth anymore…
I am happy to leave this world!
