One afternoon, sitting under the moonlight,
Chatting, laughing, and playing without worrying about what was to come.
Remembering all those childhood moments:
Dancing, singing, and shouting.
How old will you be in 5 years? asked one of them
21, why? she responded.
The question remained floating in that conversation,
Because I’m leaving for five years, but this song will continue to unite us until the day we meet again, he answered.
There, she understood everything. They would take different directions, but since the world is round, they could meet again one day.
From that moment, at six thirty, that song would be the connection between both of them,
That farewell in September would be painted on both hearts,
and the song would be the resurfacing of the love they once had.
Because sometimes it's good to start over.
