My story is much too sad to be told,
But practically everything leaves me totally cold.
The only exception I know is the case
When I'm out on a quiet spree,
Fighting vainly the old ennui,
And I suddenly turn and see your fabulous face.

I get no kick from champagne.
Mere alcohol
Doesn't thrill me at all.
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you?

Happy Belated Birthday John Keating. #RobinWilliams#Whitman
This is the best lesson you have even given us.

O ME! O life!... of the questions of these recurring;
Of the endless trains of the faithless—of cities fill'd with the foolish;
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light—of the objects mean—of the struggle ever renew'd;
Of the poor results of all—of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me;
Of the empty and useless years of the rest—with the rest me intertwined;
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?

Quoting Whitman's Leaves of Grass

登山 李涉（唐）
終日昏昏醉夢間，忽聞春盡強登山。
因過竹院逢僧話，又得浮生半日閒。

Tallinn In The Hills -
translated by John Turner

How vainly all my days did seem
wasted as in a dream!
Till, seeing spring was almost gone,
I wandered up the hills alone.

There, in a bamboo-shaded walk,
With a good monk mortal round
So in this tedious mortal round
One afternoon of peace I found

A Fleur De Toi

The days are passing/going by,but it doesnt matter
Its hard/painful(for me) to live,drunken
of this parfum so different from yours
Its even worse,I count every minute(spent) with him
Its like I`m a prisoner of my own
Its been/passed a year since he saved me from ya
Frequеntly/Often I`m asking my slef where I`d be for you
Often I think about what you`re doing,where you`re,who do you love
Out of my thoughts/besides my thoughts
I changed my adress,my tel. number
I made a balance of you letters and your mistakes too
Its like I`ve found the power
I keep all your love deep in me

{Refrain:}
I`m trying to forget you (replacing you with s1 else)
The time couldnt erase your mistakes
I`m trying but it doesnt work I cant,I dont wan to(forget ya)
I cant do it,I cant love no1 else like I love you
I`m trying to get better/heal with s1 else
who is trayng vainly to ransom all your mistakes
It seems so perfect,but its not
I cant,I dont love him like I do love you

He,he tried to console me
even he havent got your words,nor your past
Its like this(he tried) but he hasnt got your style/tase for the party
for the night for the other(people) for everything that I hate
He wiped all my tears , you know
He he gathered/picked up all your broken things
He corrected repaired all your lies,mistakes etc.
Everythig that you left
He is mad bout me,and he knows everything about me by heart
sometimes he tells me I love you,and repeats it many hours
But he doesnt smells like you
Why do I breathe you in his arms
Out of my thoughts

I dont love him like (I love)you
Just tell me why?
Did you leave me like this
I want to forget you
Take you dreams and disappear
because I want to love him like/the way I love you
