Xime

I saw you and, without knowing why, something woke up in me
A dark corner effortlessly made sense
It wasn't a spark or a flash, it was something soft
A subtle current that dragged me slowly, without asking permission

Your laughter, the one that defies the world, came like a breeze
I didn't understand it, it just enveloped me without expecting it
It was not your presence, it was your shadow, which escapes in your words
The one that hides behind your gaze when you think no one is watching

I didn't look for you, but life decided to put you in my path
For a moment I saw you as no one else sees you
Not in parties or in hasty laughter
But in the simple silence where the masks are extinguished

I don't know if I saw you or imagined you, but I understood
That there is something beyond what everyone shows
It was not love nor the intention of searching
But the connection still happened, without warning, leaving a mark

Maybe it was sharing something without saying it, a fleeting promise
Of what we could be if we dared to see it
For a moment I was close
That echo remains in my mind, like a sigh from any other day
I may never know, but I keep the reflection of that moment
The distant echo of something that never quite goes away
