A Lista
Oswaldo Montenegro
The List
Make a list of great friends
Who you used to see the most ten years ago
How many do you still see every day
How many you no longer come across
Make a list of the dreams you had
How many did you give up on dreaming!
How many loves sworn forever
How many have you managed to preserve
Where do you still recognize yourself
In the past photo or in the mirror now?
Today it's the way you thought it would be
How many friends did you throw away?
How many mysteries you used to probe
How many have you managed to understand?
How many secrets you kept
Today are silly, no one wants to know?
How many lies you used to condemn?
How many did you have to commit?
How many flaws healed over time
Were the best thing about you?
How many songs you didn't sing
Today you whistle to survive?
How many people you loved
Today you believe love you?
