The First Day of Summer

If I hadn't decided to stay

Then I wouldn't have bumped into you, accidentally spilling your drink

And if you hadn't been kind enough to forgive my obvious clumsy behavior

Then we wouldn't have met And later on, as we were joking about the invisible lines of fortune

We would sense all the eventualities we haven't lived

And we would jokingly yet truthfully fear what would happen if I hadn't spilled that drink

You are the only person with whom I can share this thought

Sometimes it's important to know that people breathe easier because of you

There is nothing more painful than watching you unable to see how beautiful you are

I appear in lives out of nowhere and my only gift is that I know when to disappear

If I hadn't decided to close the door slowly

Not to make any sound thinking you were still sleeping

Then you wouldn't have reached fast enough to prevent me from leaving

We've been here before

Saying goodbye to the first day of summer
