Janne: A magical life
2 min readJan 15, 2024

I miss
Your guiding light
Your strong hand
Your warm heart
I miss your touch
And I don’t know
How to find them
And I know
I will never find them
I look for them
Everywhere.

I won’t find you
I don’t know
where you are
Or why you left
I’m chasing
The light you were
The person I was
The rock we became.

I look for you
In the middle of the night
During the day
I look for you in the snow
Or the blue sky
You’re nowhere.

When I keep seeking
You just go farther
I lose you more
And I break.

I want to
Stop seeking
But I can’t
I have hope
That you’re behind
That tree by the road
That you are
Around the next corner
That you are
On the other side
Of the fog on the way
That you’re hiding
Behind the snowflakes
That fall on the ground.

And I keep walking
I keep looking
I keep missing
I keep crying
Where are you?
Where did you go?
Where do you hide?
Why don’t you come?
Why are you so quiet?
(You were always quiet)

Where you are
Must be a good place
I want to be with you
But time grows so slow
Time is my enemy
But when I found you
Time was my friend
And when you found me
Time was your fate.

I’m chasing you
Knowing I can’t find you
I know where you are
And yet, I hope
That you will
Come back to me
That you will be behind
That tree by the road
That you will be
Around the next corner
That you will be
On the other side
Of the fog that clouds my way
That you’ll be hiding
Behind the snowflakes
That fall on my head.

I want time
To be my friend
To be my way
To be my route

To you.
