We want to find in someone windows, is all what we can not find in themselves. Various thoughts, reflections, experiences, which we lost in the pursuit other things.

Mimosas autumn begins,
Golden, crisp and nice.
It is you, you're that girl
Which to me on the street came out.

From your letters smell in the hallway
When I came back out of breath from school,
And the streets in the autumn light
Fluttered behind me clear angels.

Mimosas wilted Recalls
Immortal yellow - October.
It is you, you, my only,
Evening you came to the candy.

With praying with praying sleepy
The park was crying whisper words.
Youngster with clouds shines autumn,
From golden mimosa - May.

Ah, the sensitive, prefarable dreams
I fell asleep with him going out in the morning,
In dreams old playing with springs,
As the gold as the fragrant posy...
~C. Niemen

And it's there when I look in your eyes.
