Your Bad Days

The light refracts like this in your window

floating across the room toward the wall

Covering you in distant movements

that's what really makes you beautiful

I'll always stay as ugly as always

as ugly as in my class photos

I liked how you stirred

for a second and then swam back to sleep

I looked closely at those expressions

that tells me that you are you

I have exactly two expressions

one of them in use right now

When I'll know all your bad days by heart

you can invite the nights in

When I'll know all your nightmares by heart

you can invent more

I'l remember you inch by inch

but not our anniversaries

For some reasons numbers wont stay in my mind

but images like these

The light grabs the bed cover

I'll make a shield for you with my hands

When I'll know all your bad days by heart

you can invite the nights in

When I'll know all your nightmares by heart

you can invent more

Some day, through and through, I will get to know 

your dreams and history 

When I'll know all your bad days by heart

you can invite the nights in

When I'll know all your bad days by heart…

Note: I translated the part "Muistan sinut sentti sentiltä" to I remember you inch by inch because I thought it fits in better. Direct translation and maybe the correct one would be centimeter by centimeter but that doesn't sound as good.
