One Day Tomorrow

When I die tomorrow,

tell the trees

I loved you.

Show it to the wind

that rises into the trees

descending from the branches

I loved you.

Explain it to a child

young enough to understand.

Whisper It to an animal

looking at him.

Report my love for the houses of rock,

Describe it to a marbled city

How I loved you

Don’t tell anyone.

No one will want to believe you.

None can believe it:

That only a man, that only a woman,

That one person may love another

as much as I love you.

By Hans Andreus
