Once in a while, when the stars align in a silent symphony
Once in a while, when the stars align in a silent symphony,
you meet someone whose electricity mirrors your soul like a calm sea,
and usually, it's a stranger who passes through your life like a comet through the night.
It was about three or four years ago when my steps were drawing shadows on Socola Boulevard,
and in a play of lights, I glimpsed a silhouette approaching, like an echo from a dream,
there was something in her walk, a dance of time and destiny that attracted me like a magnet,
and with each step, the intensity of our meeting grew like a wave ready to break.
Suddenly, I felt I knew her entire story, like an open book in the wind,
she had lived among men who did not know her soul, only the shadows she left behind,
as she got closer, I felt a sweet vertigo, like a dream suspended in time,
her steps resonated within me, a melody vibrating in my chest like an echo of eternity.
I looked her in the face, and her beauty was a sunrise captured in my gaze,
when we passed by each other, our eyes loved and sang,
a silent song that pierced the universe's silence, just for us,
and then she passed by me, without turning our gaze to the past.
Then, when I looked back, she had vanished like a dream fading at dawn,
what can you do in a world where almost everything worth having or doing is an illusion?
I entered a café and decided that if I ever saw her again,
somehow I would say, "Listen, please, I must speak to you, to capture the moment that escaped us."
I never saw her again, nor will I ever see her, but her memory is alive,
the iron of our society silences the heart, like a flame under a bell,
and when you silence a person's heart, you leave them ultimately with only a dream.
