O Bilhete

The Note
Many and many washes later
At the bottom of the jeans pocket
She found two reais and an old note
From a man, also old, who loved
Celebrating and praising the past year
They passed by each other
Happy anniversary, for both of us
I love you, come back soon, my love
She almost forgot about the old man
It was necessary to forget in order to move on
To bid farewell
She didn't want to remember the good things
Focused on what hurt her to convince herself
Pretend it was nothing
How is he doing?, she thought
Old and faded, an old love
Reading the note was strange to think
That she had been carrying it hidden in the jeans pocket
All this time
She smiled softly, the note in her hands
The way he said it when it started
You look so beautiful!
Love still exists and will last
Many and many washes later
Happy anniversary for both of us
I love you, come back soon, my love
