and

no

Tonight I no longer think of the brunette

I opened my eyes

just to see

I feel my world does not turn as

always

the world turns, it turns in its space

involved with loves that start with

loves that end with sorrows and

joys of other people like me or

world

I, your friends

and in your silence I get lost

and I am nothing when I see

and

that has not stopped even for a moment

that has no

that to leave

you will see me
