Isabelle

C'est vrai que c'est drôle... Un peu... Mais moins quand on le vit.
Voilà près de huit ans qu'elle m'a quittée. Voilà des milliers de jours passés à l'effacer. Soigneusement. Et qu'il ne reste pas une trace !... Et pas une semaine sans qu'elle ne vienne hanter mes rêves, me laissant aux matins épuisé, nauséeux, fâné, de tout cet amour qui ne pourra plus jamais s'exprimer, si lourd de tant de mots qu'elle n'entendra plus, ne veut plus entendre, sa vie est ailleurs, accablé du poids de mes fautes qui l'ont poussée à me quitter. Coupable. Idiot. Con comme la lune.
Je rêve d'elle là-bas, de l'autre côté de l'océan, et peu importent les somnifères. Je la retrouve dans mes nuits, on parle boulot, on ficelle des opérations. Je visite sa maison où elle conserve encore nos coups de coeur d'il y a longtemps, nos tableaux favoris et nos meubles du début. Et je me souviens comme si c'était hier de ses yeux, de sa bouche, de son rire et de ses joies si communicatives. Qu'elle était belle...
Je me souviens... Pour rien... De la femme de ma vie.
Je me fais du mal. Mais je n'y peux rien. J'ai beau l'oublier à longueur de journée, c'est dans mes songes qu'elle vient me rappeler combien elle était importante pour moi. Maintenant, je le sais. Mais il est trop tard... C'est bien du manque qu'a jailli la révélation. Oui, je l'ai aimé... Et je ne le savais pas. Pas à ce point.
Mais... Je suis heureux de l'avoir connue. Car maintenant je sais, oui, ce qu'est aimer. Elle me l'a appris. Merci Isabelle. Puisses-tu me pardonner un jour. Un vrai.
Your song by Elton John
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life was while you were in my world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life was while you were in my world
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life was while you were in my world
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life was while you were in my world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life was while you were in my world
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life was while you were in my world
