A Lista

The List
Make a list of great friends
Who did you see most ten years ago?
How many do you still see every day
How many you no longer find
Make a list of the dreams you had
How many have you given up on dreaming!
How many loves sworn forever
How many did you manage to preserve
Where do you still recognize yourself
In the past photo or in the mirror now?
Today is the way you thought it would be
How many friends have you thrown away?
How many mysteries did you probe
How many could you understand?
How many secrets did you keep
Today they are fools, no one cares?
How many lies did you condemn?
How many have you had to make?
How many defects have been remedied over time?
Were they the best in you?
How many songs you didn't sing
Today you whistle to survive?
How many people did you love
Do you believe they love you today?
Make a list of great friends
Who did you see most ten years ago?
How many do you still see every day
How many you no longer find
How many secrets did you keep
Today they are fools, no one cares?
How many people did you love
Do you believe they love you today?
