And I have him for a week / The second day: / I do not sleep and Guy does not. / I only have it for a week – it’s a shame every second / third day: / We do not sleep, because it’s a shame wasting every minute of the week / now?’ The fourth day: / We are already showing signs of fatigue, but we are still asking questions, passing on updated experiences about what? “We’re at home for a week.” / Pampering, stroking, filling and filling your heart and lungs with every word, every smile, every look of your eyes, / I am looking at you and see that you are pale and sad. / Suddenly I realized that I was not right – I did not ask you, darling, I did not ask you, If You are in my hands with me, Guy, forgive me for not thinking about you but only about myself, but I / the seventh day: / end this week / we are all tired, no longer talking, only the tears The memories – your face, the touch of your body, your thorny hair, your beautiful almond eyes – all this fills the anger of the rebound / the separation is difficult and the pain is unbearable / I only got you for a week / Guy, please, my boy / why? Guy No! Do not answer me – because this question should not have been asked at all. / I can not part from you now! So if so, I give up Guy for a week, / because I have him all my life in my heart. / What’s all this compared to a week? / I remember you like the first day of the week / I love you very much / Mommy / (And sorry I did not want you back for a week) “.
