SIDE BY SIDE

I want to stop time and wait
Wait for you to get me when you’re older
Then tell me what have you done
All these years without me
Who was nice and who wasn’t
If your heart ever felt broke
Or you lived the happy ever after
I want you to tell me if you remember
That older man that one day I was
Feeling an incomprehensible love
And calling you my Prince of Persia
Before you let go
I want you to tell me if you remember
Holding hands walking at the beach
The first smile, the first tear
The first hug at the airport
I want to stop time and wait for you
I do not want to grow older anymore
I want to stay still while time passes by
I want to see approaching the man one day you will be
With all the silver-gain with your efforts
Your success your accomplishments and still full of life
I want to meet you at the prime of time
And the silver shall become the gold of our golden years
And we will walk together holding hands again
You and me, side by side.

OLD MIRROR

Fifty ugly spots in the mirror
Mediocre old crystal with the cracks of time
I don’t recognize what’s within your frame anymore
A strange aged figure who looks back at me
Destroyed presence who only shows the hours
Mirror old mirror, who was the most beautiful of all?
The stain of the years have shattered your figure
Leaving not sparkle left from your far gone youth
Little by little your image is fading
The image you’re showing me is not alive anymore.

TIME TO KILL

Don’t tell me you have time to kill
When you have time to murder
Murder the opportunity to learn
To love what’s alive around you
To experience life at its fullest
Please, don’t tell me you’re bored
When you’re missing the joy of being alive
The sounds, colors, smells and flavors
Humanity and its craziness that keeps running to nowhere
Laughing at the ugliness of what it has created
Don’t waste your time complaining that you have nothing better to do
Your life is short, as short as any
Late will be the day when you finally realize
That you have murdered your chance to learn
When you run out of time to love what surrounds you
Experience life at its fullest
The simplicity in the joy of being alive
Sounds, colors, smells and flavors
When you find yourself running to nowhere
Laughing also at the ugliness you have developed
Because you found nothing better to do
During your life that was as short as any other.
