Bonsai

Oh

At a friend's party I ran into you
And I looked at you
You looked at me too
I asked you for your phone number
You said: I don't have one I only use Gmail

After several drafts I quoted you
To have tea in the Japanese Garden
Seeing that you didn't arrive
And the Moon was coming out, I thought
Did she write it down correctly?

But you appeared behind a Bonsai
Without apologizing for the time, you said: How's it going?
And I don't know if it was the floral context
Or your way of walking
But I went with you
Like Icarus and the Sun

Could it be something in the air?
Somewhere in my room
I hid a color that I invented for you
I do not know its name
Nor how much it shines
But I know it's yours

And if you look for it but you can't find it
You'll have to guess
And mix again
Until you form
That which is yours
And I want to give you
But you're always late

I met up with a friend and told him
That although I feel good
I always fall on my feet
There is something deep down that itches me
And although I think I don't know exactly what it is

Weeks passed and I noticed
That the relationship stagnated one day
Routine can be harmful
For people like you and me

But you showed up one day with a Bonsai
I saw you so excited that I couldn't speak
You told me: I saw it, I thought of you and then I had to take it
And I fall in love again
And we start again

It will be something in the air
Somewhere in my room
I hid a color that I invented for you
I do not know its name
Nor how much it shines
But I know it's yours

And if you look for it but you can't find it
You'll have to guess
And mix again
Until you form
That which is yours
And I want to give you

It will be something in the air
Or maybe it's just you
