Light Years

I’ve used hammers made out of wood, I have played games with pieces and rules. I undeciphered tricks at the bar, but now you’re gone, I havent figured out why. Ive come up with riddles and jokes about war.
I figured out numbers and what they’re for. I’ve understood feelings and I’ve understood words, but how could you be taken away?

And wherever you’ve gone, and wherever we might go, it doesn’t seem fair… today just disappeared.
Your light reflected now, reflected from afar. We were but stones, your light made of stars.

With heavy breath, awakened regrets, back pages and days that could have been spent together
But we were miles apart. Every inch between us becomes light years now.
No time to be void or save up on life, oh, you got to spend it all.

And wherever you’ve gone, and wherever we might go, it doesn’t seem fair… you seem to like it here.
Your light reflected now, reflected from afar. We were but stones, your light made of stars.

And wherever you’ve gone, and wherever we might go, it doesn’t seem fair… today just disappeared.
Your light reflected now, reflected from afar. We were but stones, your light made of stars.

Y yo no lo comprendo. Pero no hay nada que comprender. Y una vez nos juramos nunca ser de esta forma, una vez, en mi niñez, o en mi adolescencia, o como ustedes quieran llamarle a esa etapa intermedia en la que sabemos que estamos solos pero que en cualquier momento llegará algo que nos cambiará por completo (a inicios de quinto grado), me juré nunca ser de esta forma, nunca ser así, nunca matarlo todo de repente. Pero dicen que así es la vida. No haya nada que comprender, sólo es así, así, así, como las matemáticas, que en realidad no son así, en realidad no son así.

Un largo camino….largo, largo y desierto. Un olor tan familiar y tan querido pero tan lejano….nuevamente le asalta al pequeño caminante el deseo de aprisionar este olor, de meterlo dentro de sí mismo, de abrazar el olor, de besar el olor para que ya nada más importe, para alcanzar la cúspide de lo que a las masas se promete. Pero no se puede…ese momento ya ha pasado. A lo lejos se vislumbra un barril….Qué contendrá? Memorias pasadas? Un fósil petrificado? Algo que aún no ha muerto? No se le ha extendido el permiso para averiguarlo.

Ya debería irme haciendo la idea. Ya debería volver mi cabeza de concreto. Ya debería cubrir mis ojos de hielo. Ya debería pedir…crecer…olvidar?…creer…tornar…eclipsar.

No quiero. No quiero. No quiero. Mi cabeza sigue jugueteando con ideas inequívocamente imposibles. Buscando formas.
