5 Steps...

I wake up

I remember your colours

A feeling of infinite

Like slowly falling leaves on a winter's day...

They fly softly

They dance, they rock me

And as soon as I manage to follow one's flight

Another one catches my attention

Leaves that will never touch the ground - they travel

Each time in a different way

They are emotions of your memory that leave me breathless

They are indelible, everlasting...

I let the leaves fall

I don't hold - afterall, I can't...

My soul is five steps long...

When, after some little noises upstairs

With a leap you were five steps from me, 5 steps

Five

And the distance covered was the lengh of my soul

My soul ended there

It knew where to go

With no doubts, no hesitations

One way

The only way that could be travelled over

When I held you

Silence, breaths, symphony of deep whispers

Light and piercing

Some things don't have any life to render an account to

Any loyal gesture, any obligation, any duty to fulfil

They take you by the hand

And you know you're following yourself

You know you can't be wrong...

I let the leaves fall

I don't hold - after all, I can't...

My soul is five steps long...

I want to live five-steps long emotions

That break down on me like a wave

As if I were a shore to go back to

And then move away from five steps, again and again...

You're like the sea...

The five steps that part us, they measure the precise lengh of my soul...

It is as long as its distance from you...

It ends where yours starts

And there it finishes

It completes itself.
