‘Feelings’ is from a collection of poems I wrote in 1994/95, inspired by Julia, a girl that I once knew.
— ‘Feelings’ komt uit een verzameling gedichten die ik in 1994/95 schreef, geïnspireerd door Julia, een meisje dat ik ooit kende.
Why sometimes can it be so hard, when you find somebody you really like, to want her so badly, to need her so much, to miss her, after just a few hours apart, Now she's told me how she feels, there's every reason I want her more, and now I know that I would wait, until the time that she’ll be free, but until that time, she's like the girl in my dreams, she's everything I could ever want, she's there for a while as I sleep, but when I awake she has gone, One day I wish, that when I awake, that she'll be there asleep with me, her long blond hair lying on my pillow, her arm still holding onto me [from the night before], knowing that this girl is the one for me
