We were not optimistic

And you easily found holes in our plans

Almost everything was beyond what we could have predicted

Still, that never stopped us from trying. You wore your frayed white t-shirt

and faced the world of circumstances.

Everything was so heavy.

The children we knew grew up and forgot about us.

Opening our permanent naivety
In that place that only served us, we had time alone.

The sweat shed was already behind
and that moment of real complicity
We called it life.
