the seasons
followed one another

lives
were lived

houses
gave warmth

nothing was missing
nothing was asking

​

​

​

​

the world
repeated itself

in simple gestures

laughter
came
unexpectedly

the days
were worth
living

we did not know

​

​

​

​

a little hand
in mine

the world
took on
a different meaning

​

​

​

the gazes
no longer met

they passed
without seeing each other

like trains
by night

​

​

​

​

​

the walls
no longer protected

they separated

​

​

​

​

​for the night still long
I did not yet know
who I was without us
