Actors
I read sadness in your eyes,
It is a sadness written with new words,
By the writer of love dramas,
Who wants us to die at the end of the book.
I am the actor who listens
And knows how to carry out his role,
And you, the heroine actress,
Whom many like and admire.
I’m just a sentimental man,
Slightly graying, somewhat banal,
And you, the princess from another time
Now more refined and elegant.
We play our roles to the end,
Worried about only one fact:
If in the final act
We'll still be together.
