What it is
It is nonsense
says reason
It is what it is
says love
It is misfortune
says calculation
It is nothing but pain
says fear
It is hopeless
says insight
It is what it is
says love
It is ridiculous
says pride
It is careless
says caution
It is impossible
says experience
It is what it is
says love
(Original poem by Erich Fried, translation by M. Kaldenbach)
„What it is“
Ben:
It is what it is
says love
Michael:
When he looked at him, he knew it was love. They met, they talked, and there was a sudden chemistry – besides the fact that this Greek god was sex on legs and just as smart!
It is what it is
says love
Ben:
He liked his smile and how his eyes sparkled when he did. And he was relieved that he didn’t freak out about his HIV. He wouldn’t admit it but when he lay alone in the dark he dreamed about a future together.
It is nonsense
says reason
It is what it is
says love
Michael:
When he discovered about Ben’s HIV he was shocked. Then too many people got involved and he made the biggest mistake of his life. He listened to them.
It is careless
says caution
It is misfortune
says calculation
It is impossible
says experience
Ben:
Michael rejected him and it hurt. A broken heart – just one more broken dream!
It is nothing but pain
says fear
Michael:
He struggled with himself and fought with his mother and friends. But he knew what he was fighting for...Ben!
It is hopeless
says insight
It is what it is
says love
Ben:
He heard the words and they brought a smile on his face. That guy was unbelievable, to stand there in the middle of a crowd and to pour his heart out like that. He was worth another try!
It is ridiculous
says pride
It is what it is
says love
Michael:
He felt his lips and inhaled his breath. Ben’s hand lay on his hip and his heart stopped for a split second. There it was – the perfect moment!
It is what it is
says love

Was es ist
Es ist Unsinn
sagt die Vernunft
Es ist was es ist
sagt die Liebe
Es ist Unglück
sagt die Berechnung
Es ist nichts als Schmerz
sagt die Angst
Es ist aussichtslos
sagt die Einsicht
Es ist was es ist
sagt die Liebe
Es ist lächerlich
sagt der Stolz
Es ist leichtsinning
sagt die Vorsicht
Es ist unmöglich
sagt die Erfahrung
Es ist was es ist
sagt die Liebe
( Erich Fried)
