A woman and a man looking for each other

A woman and a man looking for each other

on the streets

on the beach

in their thoughts

in each other's arms.


He makes coffee for them

sometimes tea

he pours one glass after another

and they talk

and laugh

and sit close to each other

and they are happy.


They play cards

he is impressed by how fast she plays...

he wanted to teach her

but she already knows...

it's her favourite childhood game...

and she is happy,

he is happy too.


They listen to music,

he has a huge collection

she founds and plays songs she knows by heart

from her past

he plays songs she has never heard before

of artists she has never heard of

and he tells her their stories

and she dances

he doesn't, he never does

and he is happy,

she is happy too.


A woman and a man looking for each other

they have found

they are happy

then they are saying goodbye...
