I thought that with her golden hair,
an angel was on earth.
I thought it was impossible to put all
the beauty of flowers into a smile.
I thought the light that illuminated his face
was different from the others.
I thought it was the sky reflecting her eyes.
I thought that even his imperfect voice
was only used to dream.
I thought her fragile fingers caressing
black and white were a poem.
I thought that a constellation drawn on his skin
was used to travel, to find east or west.
I thought I'd never see a pure soul.
I thought I'd never dare hold her hand
for fear of damaging it.
I thought that his pen
was not telling the whole truth.
I thought I'd never have to play
a game with a dream.
I thought she could only walk
in an enchanted story.
Some things are true and some are not.
I thought she couldn't exist, that in my dream,
he's the one who won.
