I get up and I nudge you.
You don't wake up, as usual.
I put the sheet back on you.
I'm afraid that you're cold, as usual.
My hand caresses your hair
Almost despite myself, as usual
But you turn your back on me, as usual.
So I dress quickly.
I leave the room, as usual.
Alone, I drink my coffee.
I'm late, as usual.
Quietly, I leave the house.
Everything's grey outside, as usual.
I'm cold, I turn up my collar, as usual.
As usual, all day
I'll pretend to play.
As usual, I'll smile.
As usual, I'll even laugh.
As usual, finally I will live, as usual.
And then, the day will go
For me, I'll come home, as usual.
And you have gone out
Not yet returned, as usual.
Alone, I'll go lying down
In this big cold bed, as usual.
My tears, I'll hide them, as usual.
As usual, even at night
I'll pretend to play.
As usual, you'll come home.
As usual, I'll be waiting.
As usual, you'll smile at me, as usual.
As usual, you'll undress.
As usual, you'll lie down.
As usual, we'll kiss, as usual.
As usual, we'll pretend.
As usual, we'll make love.
As usual, we'll pretend, as usual.
