Bittersweet
Anne- Louise Casserstedt 1968 (Sverige)
A bittersweet reminder of what could have been,
is what life is now.
I have lost it all, there is nothing left.
All I had and all I was is gone.
I can never get my life back to where it was before. Too much is gone.
Too much is forever gone. My life is blank like an empty book,
And I have to fill it again.
How is that possible? A lifetime of memories are gone, there is no way I can fill it again.
I never thought I would be this unhappy again.
How the hell is it possible to start over, to begin all over again?
It seems impossible.
As a singer sang: Where do I begin to tell the story of my life?
