Me encontre ali, na lua...

Se você é meu lar, e ainda assim não te tenho, então estou vagando.

Na música em que tento te achar no mapa-mundi
ou no livro vou te descobrir entre milhares de outros personagens.

Do agora, só sei que está longe.

Mas nos meus sonhos consigo alcançar tudo.

E vou, no mundo em que as pessoas flutuam.

Entre desenhos animados e balões coloridos
e o céu é de um tom azul giz-de-cera.

Lá eu te encontrarei... Ainda que seja ali na lua
Pois pra quem flutua isso não é nada!

Você chegará com suas asas de fada
e eu num foguete, pra chegar mais rápido.

Se o céu espacial estiver escuro demais
mudarei o tom com a ferramenta de pintar
e teremos a cor do nascer-do-sol
enquanto não nos cansarmos de olhar.

Voltaremos, devagar, ao chão
Passando por caravelas desbravando os sete mares.

E deitaremos sobre a grama verde escura
olhando as sete maravilhas do mundo.

E bolhas de sabão subindo e crescendo
até estourarem, enormes, quando encontrarem pipas coloridas.

Aí sim, finalmente, o capítulo pode terminar
com um sorriso de "até breve"
apenas o tempo suficiente para o sonho se renovar.

Pois esse sim é o mundo que vejo ao seu redor
é bonito demais pra ficar desprotegido
e ainda tão singelo que, vez ou outra, escapa para o exterior.

E faz dos dias cinzas um tanto mais coloridos
de giz de cera e lápis de cor.

She: What kind of trick is that? We didn't make any plans to see each other tonight... Did we?

He: Actually, no... But I wanted to see you.
After this morning you kept me thinking about this.. fling we have to talk all the time.

She: Not all the time...

He: I know, I know... But, listen.
All day I was thinking "that email is not an ordinary one!"... I can't stand not sleeping with you every night. And now your vacation's over it's going to be harsh.

She: All of this because of an email? You're more romantic since last night...
And I can't talk about this with an empty stom...
You bought pizza.

He: Just now, let's eat. I didn't opened some wine because you might wanted to have...

She: Beer, allright. And it's already freeze! Nice, mister...

[...]

She: Uff... Now I'm happier...
Tell me, what my email got you thinking?

He: I just want more...

She: More? We talked about that, time will tell...

He: I know, but I feel it is time.
See... Just a sec... Here, I even printed the email because I needed to look at it. Just to know there's someone like you in the world that cares this much about me.

She: Oh... You really printed it... A small piece of paper with my phrase on it.

He: Being with you is addicting. I can't go back to my "normal life" after these vacations.

She: Ok, you got me.
But let's talk about it later, allright?

He: Oh now I'm happier!

She: And just so you know, I do that to.

He: You do what?

She: This fling of looking at something to feel better.

He: You do that too? And you didn't tell me?

She: Well I wouldn't until I knew I wasn't the only 'freaky' one!

He: Funny, lady...
And is it that you look at?

She: Just a couple of messages. Not that big deal but you know, the simple things...

He: Simple as a pizza and a beer...

She: A beer for you. I had two. Weak!

He: Good morning, Sleeping-beauty.

She: Mmm... You're not here. I'm still dreaming.

He: You're sleeping alright but I am here.

She: What time did you get here? I... Don't remember anything, geez.

He: Late, it was over midnight. I couldn't wake you even if I wanted to.

She: Yeah... I slept like a child.

He: You do that every day. Even on your vacation's last day hahahah.

She: Funny mister. Go get me some coffee please!

[...]

She: You could've given me a kiss when you layed down, though.

He: Honey, I did... Hahah. You were way too tired.
Anyway I didn't want to wake you after you forgave me for not being here by dinner.

She: It happens...
I mean, working this hard can get us ill, but sometimes is what we have to do.

He: Plus your email was the best one ever.

She: Really? The one of...

He: "What's gonna be of me without you here all the time?". This one, yeah.

She: "This is evil. I need to talk with you too."

He: That's what I replied... I'm gonna miss it too... A lot.

He: What else does summer remind you?

She: Flowered dresses. My mom used to wear them a lot.

He: She still does...

She: Yeah... And I got that from her.

He: So that's why you like them so much.

She: Because of her also, yes. But it has something... It gives me a good feeling when I wear it. Peace, happiness, you know?

He: Well I never used one of those but I guess I know this feeling... Old summers when we had nothing to worry about. That kind of happiness.

She: But now we're adults and it's good even with the preoccupations.

He: Happiness... Never changes. It's a blessed feeling.
Like the hippies, they're now older and it's not even a movement anymore but I bet they're still humble about life.

She: My parents were. For some time, I guess before they've even met each other.

He: Nice...
I guess we are a generation of hippies' sons and daughters. That's why we feel so trapped about work routines and stuff.

She: It does make sense...
But our generation is called 'hipsters'. We work a lot more than fourty years ago, we complain a lot more about routine and we still haven't learned to love.

He: Hey. Not everyone though...

She: Of course not, you know it...

He: Now we're hipsters that listen to indie artists and get together with friends in reunions in the middle of the week, drink too much and go to work with dark cicles in the eyes saying that we're never gonna drink again.

She: Hey I only did that once. And it wasn't a reunion with friends, it was our engagement night!

He: Yeah... The next engagement party will be on a saturday night.

She: With your other fianceé, right?

He: Oh yeah. We already have babies. Twins hipsters, so cute!

He: Are you looking at the windshield?

She: Mmm? Yeah... Thinking...

He: About?

She: Childhood. Traveling with my parents on the vacations.
I guess I used to stare it when I was kid. Somehow this thought came to me now.

He: There's nothing like our childhood days, right?

She Yup.

He: When I look at those old yellowed pics I remember about vacations also. Or force myself to, it gets harder and harder to remember every year...

She: It's something we lose so we can make new memories.

He: Yeah...
I wish we could just keep everything, recent or old memories.

She: Would be nice. Now we have applications for smartphones that takes pictures with aged filters. But it's never going to be the same as those small photos with rounded corners.

He: Nor we have those stylish clothes we used to wear.

She: Fashion comes and goes. Now we live in a retro world.

He: Retro world...
At least some things that once were good comes back nowadays.

She: [...]
I hope that in two decades or something the yellowed pics will still look stylish.

He: Let's try then. A smartphone artificial aged picture is better than no picture.
Plus... One day our memories from today will be gone. Some things we must enroll.

She: Even this rain.

He: Even this pouring rain. After that here comes the sun.

She: And I say "It's allright!"...

He: The narrator on that movie was right. Most days pass without any remarkable happenings. That's why I value the little things.

She: I guess most days pass with difficulties. The good ones are the remarkable.

He: But we learn more on the hard days.

She: I kinda disagree.
For me, we learn with the hard and the good ones. No matter what we learn, there's always something yet to think about.

He: Or to talk about. Perhaps you're right.
Want more coffee? I know I want.

She: Not for me, I'm already tired and awake.

He: Just for me then.
So... I guess this is not an universal thing, right? I mean, we'll never be sure of what's more important for us to valuate things, the good days or the hard ones.

She: It's like discuss about politics or religions.

He: Or sports!

She: Yeah, so don't start it.
Most people think that discuss about things is boring or risky. And we don't talk about things anymore, we say our opinions and nevermind about different ones.

He: Yeah. It's ironic how the modern life brings us together and yet we don't talk anymore like before.

She: But not us.

He: Oh no. We like to talk!

She: Sometimes is funny how people look at us. "They don't ever stop talking? What a strange couple!"

He: Hahahah. Being strange, nowadays, is normal. The normal ones are the strange people, I guess.

She: That is an universal truth!

She: But that's what I'm talking about... Happiness is something particular.
We can agree in one or two things, perhaps more... But it's different from people to people.

He: But there are some universal things. Like summer.

She: Not for everyone, you know...

He: Mmm.
Then what is happiness to you?

She: Lots of things!

He: Like..?

She: The little things... Don't laugh, it is not a cliche...

He: Tell me one and I won't laugh!

She: [...]
When I leave the computer on the shuffle mode and it plays the song I wanna hear.

He: That is simple allright.
I guess it's like spending the entire day with you. The big picture is too much happiness to ask, but the little things... They happen all the time, and there is the joy.

She: You got my point...

He: So tell me, why wouldn't you just play the song you wanna hear at once?

She: Because the best things in life are unexpected!
You know that.

He: Mmm I guess I do.
We weren't expecting each other, after all.

He: Hello there.

She: Hey dear! Are you feeling better?

He: I feel like I'm dying, but thank you for ask...

She: Exagerated!

He: I haven't even seen you leaving this morning... By the way, tell me something.
What's up with the post-it on the bathroom mirror?..

She: Oh didn't you like it?.. It was just something for you to know cause I couldn't wake you this morning...

He: Shh I loved it.

She: Just my wishes for you to get better quick... Plus you're the one that started this 'post-it thing'.

He: Hahahah *cough*. I know..

She: Don't laugh! Your throat isn't recovered yet...

He: You make me laugh and I wanna see anyone saying that this doesn't make me get better!

She: Okay mister. But now you must save your voice. I bought some honey, have some with a cup of tea... And your medicines are on the cabinet...

He: Don't you worry, lady, I know where's everything. But what I really need is some other honey, you know.

She: Hahahah I knew you were going to say something like that... I guess you're getting better already.

He: How could I not with your magical post-it?..

He: Why would you want to help them?

She: Because they seem to have problems... You know, we had it too.

He: Yes, and we solved by ourselves. Imagine how awkward would be if someone tried to help us.

She: I know, but... I feel helpless watching them almost finishing...

He: You have to think that these things we can't intervene. If they are a couple strong enough, if they like each other that much, they will solve.

She: I don't think it's that simple.

He: I do. See, if it didn't work I don't think it was meant to be. I don't think that this person was the love of your life. When this happens, no matter what, both of them will work it out.
As we did, right?

She: Perhaps you're right... But I still wanted to do something for them...
[...]
So, tell me how did you handle me?

He: I must tell you... I was very disappointed when you were having doubts... And didn't call me or anything.

She: I didn't because I was having doubts...

He: I know. But it was frustrating. But after all you decided for the right thing...

She: Because when you like someone that much you can't bear leaving it for a long time.
And that's what shows if it's gonna work.

He: See. You know these things, I didn't have to tell you not to do anything about our friends. They will work it out. Or won't. That's life happening.

She: We had to discuss about it. That's us being.. Us!

He: Hello.

She: Hey dear. I'm sorry I couldn't reply your message before. I'm without my credits, you know...

He: Hahah I do. Are you working now?

She: Yup. But I had to call you so you wouldn't think I avoided you, okay?

He: Hahahah. You didn't have to. But I'm glad you did.
You know, I don't send you messages hoping for a reply. I send'em to cheer you.

She: Sweet!
Oh I have to go now. Thank you for the message. And it's reason. Dinner tonight?

He: I'll be at your place at... Eight?

She: Nope! Seven, if you can. I'm happy, want to go out and dance!

He: But you know I can't dance...

She: It doesn't matter. You're trying to is good enough!
Bye mister!
