Dernier poème Matches original text
Language: French (Français)
J'ai rêvé tellement fort de toi, J'ai tellement marché, tellement parlé, Tellement aimé ton ombre, Qu'il ne me reste plus rien de toi. Il me reste d'être l'ombre parmi les ombres D'être cent fois plus ombre que l'ombre D'être l'ombre qui viendra et reviendra dans ta vie ensoleillée.
