Time

I thought of you again.

I realised I am forgetting your face.

I guess this is what time means.

The end

I wanted to see your world
Share your hopes and struggles
Listen to your dreams and doubts
Work with our life puzzles

I wanted to cultivate intimacy
See our love sprouts grow
Take care of them routinely
And learn to befriend monotony

I wanted to melt with you in a daily hug
Find a way to celebrate challenges
Honour our vicissitudes
Be thankful for our peaceful passages

I wanted to show my world
Travel to the corners I’ve got to know
Share with you some of my passions
Get to understand us with compassion

Enjoy your freedom and my freedom
Make space for us in our lives
Keep our solitude in unity
Embrace our conjoint desires

I didn’t care about the how
I knew it was not going to be easy
But lucky the moment that saw us existing
How could I leave without persisting?

The path appears when you start to walk
So, I gathered my fears and put them under lock
Come what may
Oh, who cares!
Better to act, no matter a possible wreck

You took my hand
Put your arms around my waist
Whispered to my ear:
We will embrace our fate

I was ready to try
I was ready to sail
Yet you turned around
Just before getting the chance to board

I was ready to try
I was ready to jump
Yet when I found the thrust
You let go of my hand, disappeared like the dust

You walked only few steps
Seemed you got afraid at the edge
Was there ever a common fate?

I wanted to see your world
Thought you wanted me to show you mine
And yet one day you just left me behind
With no understandable sign
