The Re-encounter

This is the story of a friendship I lose a long time ago, and talks also about a re-encounter which took place a long time ago:

An old friend

3 years ago and more

Disappeared from our lives

And just for my birthday

Number 17

I had a re-encounter with him

I ran to receive him

Opened my arms

I felt emotion to see him

And I think

He felt also emotion to see me

‘Cause I was very, very tall

‘Cause just a little and I reach him

And what more emotion gave me

Is that it was for surprise

Really I didn’t hoped it

But was such the emotion I felt

And such the pleasure of the re-encounter

That I want it to happen again

I want to dedicate these words to my friend

Who I saw yesterday

“Friend, I’d like to see you again”

I dedicate these words to yesterday.
