I used to think that autumn was one season... and I used to name things when I touched them
And I was looking for you... when I discovered my loss
And I knew that I remain on the earth
I neither take a path nor hold it
Before you... I was the most handsome boy in the neighborhood
After you, I shattered the mirror... and lied to myself... when I waited for you and did not wait for it
Before you, waiting was transient
After you, it built a nest on my shoulder
And sometimes... I used to drink boredom in your absence... until we became the same color
There is no color to walk towards you... except the color of a distance with several intersections
There is no distance except time that I do not master counting
There is no color for things... for all things are farther from you
Sometimes, as I walk in you...
I do not find the door...
I just keep walking
As if the water of life... flows to wash your feet... and like a weak butterfly with no strength to move away...
Life was brutally cursed
To be drunk returning to you
I will leave the door open
As it was open
And I will leave my heart in its place
As it was in its place
And I will go out to walk to you
As I always go out to walk to you
The day we met I was
And the day we parted I don’t remember that I was present...
I was shy to the extent that I let them pull the ground and I fell far away
And when you left...
You left nothing but what pulls me violently to you... and a fractured reassurance
I still keep them.
