In Die Nacht

“Guys Bill wrote a new song!”

I jumped as Georg and Gustav looked at me expectantly. I twirled my microphone in my hand nervously. I wish Tom hadn’t said anything.

Tom picked up his guitar and sat next to me a smile on his face. “Don’t worry Bill. They’ll love it. I promise.”

I bit my lip hesitantly. “I hope you’re right,” I said softly.

“I am,” he said as he began to play.

In mir wird es langsam kalt
wie lang könn wir beide
hier noch sein
Bleib hier
die Schatten wolln mich holn
Doch wenn wir gehn
dann gehn wir nur zu Zweit
Du bist alles was ich bin und alles was durch meine Adern Fließt
Immer werden wir uns tragen
Egal wohin wir fahrn egal wie tief

Ich will da nicht allein sein
lass uns gemeinsam
in die Nacht
Irgendwann wird es Zeit sein
lass uns gemeinsam
in die Nacht

Ich höre wenn du leise schreist
spüre jeden Atemzug von dir
Und auch
wenn das Schicksal uns zerreißt
Egal was danach kommt
das teilen wir

Ich will da nicht allein sein
lass uns gemeinsam
in die Nacht
Irgendwann wird es Zeit sein
lass uns gemeinsam
in die Nacht

In die Nacht irgendwann
In die Nacht
nur mit dir zusamm!

Halt mich sonst treib ich
alleine in die Nacht

Nimm mich mit und halt mich sonst treib ich
alleine in die Nacht
Du bist alles was ich bin und alles was durch meine Adern Fließt

We stopped and it was silent. I could see the shocked look on Georg and Gustav’s faces. Gustav began to clap slowly and Georg followed suit until they were applauding me and Tom. I smiled at my brother and squeezed his hand in thanks.

“That was amazing!” Georg exclaimed an awed look on his face, “Who is it about?”

“Me and Bill,” Tom answered with a huge smile on his face. I think I may have imagined it but he looked like he was about to cry.

“Wow. That’s amazing. It shows how close you guys are,” Gustav said softly.

I blushed turning about six shades of red. I couldn’t believe they actually liked my song. Tom smiled as he held my hand tightly, our fingers unintentionally interlacing. I could feel my cheeks flushing and, risking a look at Tom, I noticed his cheeks were red as well. Could he possibly feel the same way? No. It wasn’t possible.

“That was amazing! We have to show that song to the label,” Gustav said softly.

My eyes widened and my body started to tremble. I had been nervous enough singing to Gustav and Georg, but I wasn’t sure I could sing in front of the record label.

“That’s a good idea Gustav,” Tom said, giving my hand a squeeze, “We have to work on it a bit more but we’ll be ready soon.”

I stared at him, my eyes wide with fear. How could he do that? He knew how shy I was. He knew how hard it was for me to share this special song.

“Don’t worry Bill,” he said softly so only I could hear him, “You’ll be fine. I promise.”

“How do you know that?” I asked, “ I can’t do this without you Tom.”

He smiled and kissed my forehead softly, “Don’t worry Bill. I’ll be there.”

I nodded biting my lip softly, “ I love you Tom.”

He smiled, “ I love you too Bill. You know that.”

“I know,” I said softly as he walked away, “You don’t love me nearly as much as I love you.” I sighed. There was no way he could feel the same way. I was doomed to love a man who would never love me back.
