Ella y Él

Her
And the pressure of choosing a seat
On the bus to the new school
Judging looks on your body
The fear of breaking the silence
Her eyes, her curls, her hair
Her clothes, her walk or her weight
Loaded with so many complexes
And suddenly him
Points to an empty seat beside him
And she takes a seat

Him
Wasn't a 10, nor a 0
Used to be in the middle
Tall on the outside and small on the inside
His fine eyes, his simplicity, his skin and honey charisma
Dressed in black
Band shirts spinning in his stereo walkman
And after several moments
He offers her the right earphone
Gathers the courage and thinks
Listen to a bit of this

Unintentionally
We're on our way to
Stop being
Two strangers, and look at me
I want to introduce
My desire to get to know you
And let them know about yours
To see me again

He
From a middle-class family
With everything she dreamed of
Sundays dining out, and everyone knew about
Her
Unlike him
Her home in ruins, shared beds
Her and her 4 siblings
Under a stepfather given to drink, dictator
Mom doesn't stop him, doesn't see him as a mistake
Her and her story remain voiceless
In her mind it works better
She disconnects and her song plays

And unintentionally (unintentionally)
We're on our way to stop being
Two strangers and look at me
I want to introduce
My desire to get to know you
And let them know about yours for being
Together!

They hated Wednesdays
Her and him couldn't stand each other
His long practices
Her seat empty until the next dawn
He
Smiled at her with his eyes
With his mouth only halfway
And he began to realize
That it was because of
Her
She tried to read
Over his shoulder
His X-Men comic
And a drop fell on Charles Xavier's panel

Unintentionally
Everything started to twist
Let me tell you why
She doesn't know how to look in the face
Her fear of feeling like she doesn't fit wins
She hides her history of wars at home
And he doesn't understand anything

But he's into punk, she's into John Lennon
He took the first step, she forgot her fear
He shakes her hand for the first time
And looks at her with eyes of everything will be fine

He was into comics
And she
Learned
To be
Too

One Wednesday
In his seat, he said
Look at me, today I want to see you again
Today I dare
To tell you with words
I don't know what I feel
But I know I miss you
