couple of words [82]

She: You're quiet.

He: Yeah.
Just sad. Another sunday ends, another week ahead.

She: But you don't get this sad usually.

He: I know.
It's the weather dropping. I don't like it.
Despite the fact I won't see you in a few days, cause this is obvious.

She: Ohh that... I see.
Perhaps it wasn't a good idea you walking me home. It's far, it's getting colder...

He: No, don't get me wrong.
A cold sunset in a sunday with you is way better than a hot day alone outside.

[...]

She: You know... There was this person I care a lot that told me one day that 'where there is longing, there are feelings'.

He: Mmm... I suppose this important person is right.
It's just that sometimes I realize that a day without you is a day lost.

She: There are no lost days when you care for someone.

[...]

He: See? That was a good point. I miss this conversations more than I realize.

She: But right now, all I care is that you hold my hand cause it's getting cold and we have no gloves.

He: Nahh, who cares for gloves? I'll keep you warm, my cavewoman!

She: Hahahahah where did you get that?
No need to do this shy smile, you know I liked it!

couple of words [81]

He: I'm sorry I left for a while, I had some things to do...

She: No need to, mister. Work comes... First, sometimes.

He: It's not that I couldn't do both things, but that time you were making me laugh!

She: Hahahah was I? How come?

He: Us both were talking nonsense I guess... But you know, boss was near, I couldn't laugh!

She: Sometimes all we have to do is to hide a smile when we can't, right?

He: Or don't want to.
That's why I sometimes disappear... I don't want to hide the smile you're responsable of.

She: Ohh nice. Thank God I can laugh here on my cubicle. Not so loud, but I can.

He: You can laugh really easily, sometimes...

She: Not just anytime, mister. You are funny. These moments we talk about nonsense things makes my mornings worthy.

He: So you're saying that you do enjoy our crazyness mornings... Interesting.

She: It helps me with my mood when I don't wake up that positive.

He: Glad to know.
And you know... I don't have a good morning without you making me smile.

She: Some people says simple things are the best.

He: Yeah...
They're wrong.

She: Silly things are.

He: Exactly.

Lápis de cor

As vezes esquecemos, lá na gaveta, um lápis solitário. Geralmente o cinza. Tão injustiçado quanto os outros.

Largamos cada cor em um canto. Separadas em gavetas. Avulsos e perdidos.

Cada um com sua importância, isolado dos outros. E tentamos, em vão, desenhar. E reclamamos do resultado.

- Falta cor, falta sentimento! Mas onde estão as outras cores?

- Pra quê misturar azul e amarelo? É mais fácil usar logo o verde!

E cortamos também uma dose de boa vontade. Pela raiz.

Mas é quando os desenhos só apresentam tons de cinza que aparece o lápis mágico.

- Por quê mágico? Esse lápis não funciona! É ilusão sua!

E eles realmente olham uma folha em branco.

E o lápis mágico desenha todas as cores que faltam, e vão além do papel.
Mas para alguns ele continua em branco.

E se recusam a tentar enxergar o que ele desenhou.
Argumentam que você está vendo coisas.

E, por ingenuidade, vez ou outra descartamos um lápis mágico.
Que insiste aparecer novamente, em outra oportunidade.

E nos perguntamos "Aonde esse lápis esteve? Não lembro de tê-lo guardado!"

De fato, ele não foi feito pra ficar preso na gaveta. E só sentimos falta quando o cinza volta a predominar.

O injustiçado cinza. Culpado pelo céu escuro.
Sozinho, até o azul do céu é intimidante.

Então percebemos que não é preciso um lápis mágico pra trazer harmonia. Ele apenas não nos deixa esquecer disso.

É mesmo bem trabalhoso usar todos lápis ao mesmo tempo. Exige atenção aos detalhes.
Mas só quem faz uso da palheta aprende a ser lápis mágico, um dia.

couple of words [80]

He: Don't get me wrong... But I came today only because he's the best friend ever.

She: I know how you feel.

He: It's not that... I know you're a great person, they made sure of telling me the nicest things about you...

She: Oh please... Cut it out.
Do you want to be here, honestly?

He: Actually I do. This is what I was gonna say...

She: Then don't come with small talk over me. I'm here because they told me it would be fun, and I must say I've been needing to go out and see the sun again.

He: It's not small talk, but good to know you think the same.
Now let me finish.

She: You've got the word, mister.

He: Mister... Funny.
So, now I realize that even if this ends up as a total failure... I was wrong about being alone at my place. We need to see other people sometimes. Even if it's just to look at.

She: Now you said a big truth.
So what was her name?

He: Her?.. It.. Doesn't matter, does it?

She: Nope. That would be small talk.
There's always a sorrow for something I guess...

He: Everyone is damaged goods right?

She: Hell yeah.
Enphasize the "hell".

He: Hahahah.
I guess.. What matters is what you do to keep moving on with your life.

She: For me, it doesn't matter if you screwed up a relationship before. We're gonna seek the next chance to do it better next time, or the next and someday it will work.

[...]

He: For someone who seemed bored from the beginning, this look of agreement on your face says I'm not useless...

She: Hahah. Don't be a fool. I like good conversations.
And I must say, I love to laugh. Been missing this...

couple of words [79]

He: It's way too hot to go out!

She: Come on, don't be a girl. This holiday happens once a year!

He: I know but we're gonna dehydrate out there.

She: Don't worry, I'll make sure we'll drink a lot of fluids.
And I don't mean beers...

He: Now you're being mean. I just want to take a few ones, look at this sun!

She: A few ones is different than a lot of "ones".

He: Please, mom?

She: Hahahah you clown. Sure you can.
As long as you dance with me!

He: Ohh you keep trying to make me dance...

She: Of course, I love your goofy style.

He: I know you do, but you know, there are hundreds of people out there and they're gonna see me dancing...

She: Don't mind about it. We are happy people!

He: I wonder how unusual is a couple dancing on the streets...

She: That's why is so fun!
And just this time I'll let you wear that awkward hawaiian shirt...

He: It's unfair for you to say that when you're wearing a sailor costume!

She: Actually it's not, we match. If someone asks we're representing 'Pearl Harbor'. A couple of sailors!

He: Yeah, but I'm off-duty!

She: Hahahah with this shirt, you'd better be!..

He: Wouldn't you have a hawaiian necklace also?
Don't laugh! It combines with the shirt!

She: Ohh actually I do have! *lol* That will be funny!

He: I hope you have two of them. If I'm gonna look like a fool, so will you!

She: Of course I do, honey. Don't you remember, when someone gives you a hawaiian necklace, you belong each other!

He: Mmm you know... This costumes are perfect!

couple of words [78]

She: Now that you've taken a pic of me you'll have to do me something!

He: Whatever you want dear.

She: You're gonna write your adress on a napkin for me.

He: My adress? But... We just came from there.

She: I know, silly. I can't tell you what's about or I'll spoil the surprise.

He: But... You know it by heart, don't you?

She: Yeah I do, mister. But trust me on this one.

...

He: You're gonna write me a letter, won't you?

She: No!

He: Hahahah I found it! Don't turn your face, let me see!
Now, you're blushing!

She: Yeah I am, cause you spoiled my surprise. What for?

He: Ohh don't be like that my pretty.. I'd love to get a letter from you!

She: You're just saying so I won't be mad.

He: Oh no, I know there's no way back now... I mean it.
I kinda love old-fashioned things!

She: If you're referring to me...

He: Shh. Don't be naive. You have wonderful tastes. I think that nowadays, sending a letter is a big proof of caring for someone.

She: Now you got it.
But I'm still mad.

He: You know something?

She: I'm gonna know in a second!

He: If you're the one who's sending me the letter, I would love it even if it was just a dot on the "i"!

She: Cute!
...
But there's a movie with that name, isn't it?

He: Well it doesn't make it less truth!

She: Ok mister... You seem to have a gift...

He: Really? Which one?

She: Either you're a really good persuasive person... Or you can turn my humor from worst to the best.

He: In time, dear, you'll see that this only applies to you...

couple of words [77]

He: I'm speechless!

She: You don't say!..
I'm exhausted and I look like a child, you must have million of thoughts in there!

He: Ohh about how you look? Didn't notice until you just said, I was talking about your feet!..

She: Good to know, cause I really don't care! I missed so much being with my relatives. And my feet's colour is named  'childhood play'. You should try.

He: Don't get mistaken, I'd love to beat your team there, but that wouldn't be fair, you know... Cause they are all your family. I'm trying to be Mr. Nice Guy here hahahah.

She: Silly. There's a place for girl on my team!

He: Ouch!
You shouldn't say that when your hair is tied in, you're sweating and wearing a t-shirt that says "the boys are back in town".
Mmm let me rephrase it, I guess that the t-shirt isn't that manly anyways!

She: You crack me up hahahah.

He: Now, seriously. I'm loving to see this smile on your face. It's.. New.

She: You always makes me smile.
Pass me some water please!

He: Yeah, but this one is different. And I don't mean it in a bad way, no. I know you like to laugh. But here you're... Sparkling. You do seem like a child again.

She: Not sparkling like a vampire I hope!

He: Hahahah good one!
But you know... This is wonderful to see. I guess I've never seen this kind of smile until today.

She: I've always been a kid... In a good way, with my girly vanities but always a kid playing around with my cousins kicking whatever we found, round or not!

He: I think that this trip is way better than what I expected...

She: You were affraid of them right? Hahahah.

He: A little bit, I mean, I heard you speaking of them and I thought it would be some huge football players.
Don't look at me like that, I know I'm not the strongest guy here. I'm not gonna play rugby or something like that with them, I'm not crazy!

She: I spent a lot of vacations here. Since I was a child till' a teenager.

He: Mmmm...

She: Now what's that look?..

He: Nothing... Just thinking that now I have a trump to bargain with them...

She: You wouldn't dare!..

He: Is this a challenge?

couple of words [76]

She: Oh my God, look at this storm!

He: Wow, nice!
I guess we'll have to stay at the mall a little more...

She: Look... Lightnings... And thunders! What if the lights go out here??

He: Oh I know you don't like storms, but it's not that bad my lady.

She: Don't make fun of it! I'm terrified of storms!

He: But you do enjoy to catch some rain with me ocasionally...

She: That is different... Let's go back to the cinema, perhaps they will let us in.

He: Hahah next week maybe. But hey, if the lights goes out during this storm the last place you'll wanna be is inside the theater, think about it...

She: I guess you're right...

He: Come on, let's have some coffee, this won't last that much... I hope.
Decaff for you, of course.

[...]

He: I still can't figure.

She: What?

He: You're affraid of storms...

She: Terrified, not affraid.

He: Right, terrified... And you can work like the batteries rabbit whenever you want!

She: Not whenever I want, I have my moments...

He: Yeah, from monday to friday and the weekends!

She: I'm affraid of a natural event.

He: Terrified.

She: Terrified, of course! Nature can be frightening. My desk full of papers makes me feel productive, I love not having so much time to think.
Aside than you, of course.

He: Ohh I'm glad to know you manage to think about me!

She: Silly.

He: Also, my desk full of papers on a monday morning can be frightening aswell...

She: Too bad for you! At least you can protect me from a storm. I can't do your work for you hahahah.

He: Well I cannot protect you from that storm out there!

She: God only, dear.

He: I could try.

She: But we would end up drowned at some point of the city.

He: Yeah.
Almost like that lame movie we were watching.

She: If we think about it, even a lame movie is worth when you have a good partner.

He: Oh I don't need to think about. Anything with you is fun.

She: Anything anything?

He: I told you once when we argued a little, "I'd go anywhere with you", baby!

She: Nice quote, mister!

He: Yeah, that one from "Eternal Sunshine" wouldn't be quite correct...

couple of words [75]

He: Did you just throw popcorn over that couple down there?

She: Shh! It's fun, they're teenagers, must be nervous.

He: I'm shocked, lady! You're so educated!

She: Come on, it's not like I'm harassing them. Let's be childs again and throw it with me!

He: Now they are looking our direction. I feel ashamed for a couple of kids, oh my.

She: Hey, did you see that? They threw it back! Hahah.

He: Now this is serious business! Let me have some of your ammunition!

She: I told you this was fun!

He: Focus on hitting them! Not that old mister looking disapproval to us!

She: Hey you down there, you throw like a girl!

He: She is a girl. Hit her and I'll hit him!

She: Uh oh, be cool... Someone's coming!

He: Too late...
I am truly sorry sir, this was a childish attitude...

She: I agree with my fiancée, usher. This a wast of good popcorn!..

He: Ok, no need to look at us with this face, we'll let ourselves out.
It wasn't that really good movie anyway...

She: Truthfully, the Popcorn Wars were more enjoyable if I may say!

He: I bet that either he's deaf or really mad at us.

She: Yeah, I guess we won't be welcome here anymore...

He: Nevermind... It was nice to be a child again!

She: I bet we would disagree a lot if we knew each other then.

He: Sure would. I'd mess with your hair and you would shout at me!

couple of words [74]

She: Tell me about your dreams.

He: I don't have to. I mean, it's almost always you.
Either I'm with you or I meet you in a dream inside a dream.
I'm getting crazy, I know. A couple of weeks not seeing you and I'm like this.

She: You're not getting crazy. We just have to endure. A few more days and my job here will be done.
And I miss you too, you know.

He: At this situation even this is good to hear... I'm here over the couch with two blankets, a cup of tea on the floor and all the lights and tv turned off. Which means, I'm an old man without you!

She: Hahahah exaggerated! And I don't want to see any stains on the carpet, mister!

He: You mean, aside that one where you spilled wine on our last aniversary?

She: That was on purpose!

He: Yeah, right. Hahahah.

She: Of course I was a little drunk and at the time it felt right to do...
But it's nice, you have something to look at now and remember me!

He: I don't need any stain or what so ever to remember you, silly...
Just... Come home soon alright?

She: Mmm you're that needy... Must be the cold weather...

He: Of course not! I want to see you because I have lots of new jokes, you know!..

She: Hahah yeah, right... I can't wait to laugh of the bad ones!

He: And you lady don't drink too much with your colleagues there. You might think it's a good idea to spill wine over their hair, you know!..

She: That is a bad one alright! *lol*

Me encontre ali, na lua...

Se você é meu lar, e ainda assim não te tenho, então estou vagando.

Na música em que tento te achar no mapa-mundi
ou no livro vou te descobrir entre milhares de outros personagens.

Do agora, só sei que está longe.

Mas nos meus sonhos consigo alcançar tudo.

E vou, no mundo em que as pessoas flutuam.

Entre desenhos animados e balões coloridos
e o céu é de um tom azul giz-de-cera.

Lá eu te encontrarei... Ainda que seja ali na lua
Pois pra quem flutua isso não é nada!

Você chegará com suas asas de fada
e eu num foguete, pra chegar mais rápido.

Se o céu espacial estiver escuro demais
mudarei o tom com a ferramenta de pintar
e teremos a cor do nascer-do-sol
enquanto não nos cansarmos de olhar.

Voltaremos, devagar, ao chão
Passando por caravelas desbravando os mares.

E deitaremos sobre a grama verde escura
olhando as sete maravilhas do mundo.

E bolhas de sabão subindo e crescendo
até estourarem, enormes, quando encontrarem pipas coloridas.

Aí sim, finalmente, o capítulo pode terminar
com um sorriso de "até breve"
apenas o tempo suficiente para o sonho se renovar.

Pois esse sim é o mundo que vejo ao seu redor
é bonito demais pra ficar desprotegido
e ainda tão singelo que, vez ou outra, escapa para o exterior.

E faz dos dias cinzas um tanto mais coloridos
de giz de cera e lápis de cor.

couple of words [73]

She: What kind of trick is that? We didn't make any plans to see each other tonight... Did we?

He: Actually, no... But I wanted to see you.
After this morning you kept me thinking about this.. fling we have to talk all the time.

She: Not all the time...

He: I know, I know... But, listen.
All day I was thinking "that email is not an ordinary one!"... I can't stand not sleeping with you every night. And now your vacation's over it's going to be harsh.

She: All of this because of an email? You're more romantic since last night...
And I can't talk about this with an empty stom...
You bought pizza.

He: Just now, let's eat. I didn't opened some wine because you might wanted to have...

She: Beer, allright. And it's already freeze! Nice, mister...

[...]

She: Uff... Now I'm happier...
Tell me, what my email got you thinking?

He: I just want more...

She: More? We talked about that, time will tell...

He: I know, but I feel it is time.
See... Just a sec... Here, I even printed the email because I needed to look at it. Just to know there's someone like you in the world that cares this much about me.

She: Oh... You really printed it... A small piece of paper with my phrase on it.

He: Being with you is addicting. I can't go back to my "normal life" after these vacations.

She: Ok, you got me.
But let's talk about it later, allright?

He: Oh now I'm happier!

She: And just so you know, I do that to.

He: You do what?

She: This fling of looking at something to feel better.

He: You do that too? And you didn't tell me?

She: Well I wouldn't until I knew I wasn't the only 'freaky' one!

He: Funny, lady...
And is it that you look at?

She: Just a couple of messages. Not that big deal but you know, the simple things...

He: Sinple as a pizza and a beer...

She: A beer for you. I had two. Weak!

couple of words [72]

He: Good morning, Sleeping-beauty.

She: Mmm... You're not here. I'm still dreaming.

He: You're sleeping alright but I am here.

She: What time did you get here? I... Don't remember anything, geez.

He: Late, it was over midnight. I couldn't wake you even if I wanted to.

She: Yeah... I slept like a child.

He: You do that every day. Even on your vacation's last day hahahah.

She: Funny mister. Go get me some coffee please!

[...]

She: You could've given me a kiss when you layed down, though.

He: Honey, I did... Hahah. You were way too tired.
Anyway I didn't want to wake you after you forgave me for not being here by dinner.

She: It happens...
I mean, working this hard can get us ill, but sometimes is what we have to do.

He: Plus your email was the best one ever.

She: Really? The one of...

He: "What's gonna be of me without you here all the time?". This one, yeah.

She: "This is evil. I need to talk with you too."

He: That's what I replied... I'm gonna miss it too... A lot.

couple of words [71]

He: What else does summer remind you?

She: Flowered dresses. My mom used to wear them a lot.

He: She still does...

She: Yeah... And I got that from her.

He: So that's why you like them so much.

She: Because of her also, yes. But it has something... It gives me a good feeling when I wear it. Peace, happiness, you know?

He: Well I never used one of those but I guess I know this feeling... Old summers when we had nothing to worry about. That kind of happiness.

She: But now we're adults and it's good even with the preoccupations.

He: Happiness... Never changes. It's a blessed feeling.
Like the hippies, they're now older and it's not even a movement anymore but I bet they're still humble about life.

She: My parents were. For some time, I guess before they've even met each other.

He: Nice...
I guess we are a generation of hippies' sons and daughters. That's why we feel so trapped about work routines and stuff.

She: It does make sense...
But our generation is called 'hipsters'. We work a lot more than fourty years ago, we complain a lot more about routine and we still haven't learned to love.

He: Hey. Not everyone though...

She: Of course not, you know it...

He: Now we're hipsters that listen to indie artists and get together with friends in reunions in the middle of the week, drink too much and go to work with dark cicles in the eyes saying that we're never gonna drink again.

She: Hey I only did that once. And it wasn't a reunion with friends, it was our engagement night!

He: Yeah... The next engagement party will be on a saturday night.

She: With your other fianceé, right?

He: Oh yeah. We already have babies. Twins hipsters, so cute!

couple of words [70]

He: Are you looking at the windshield?

She: Mmm? Yeah... Thinking...

He: About?

She: Childhood. Traveling with my parents on the vacations.
I guess I used to stare it when I was kid. Somehow this thought came to me now.

He: There's nothing like our childhood days, right?

She Yup.

He: When I look at those old yellowed pics I remember about vacations also. Or force myself to, it gets harder and harder to remember every year...

She: It's something we lose so we can make new memories.

He: Yeah...
I wish we could just keep everything, recent or old memories.

She: Would be nice. Now we have applications for smartphones that takes pictures with aged filters. But it's never going to be the same as those small photos with rounded corners.

He: Nor we have those stylish clothes we used to wear.

She: Fashion comes and goes. Now we live in a retro world.

He: Retro world...
At least some things that once were good comes back nowadays.

She: [...]
I hope that in two decades or something the yellowed pics will still look stylish.

He: Let's try then. A smartphone artificial aged picture is better than no picture.
Plus... One day our memories from today will be gone. Some things we must enroll.

She: Even this rain.

He: Even this pouring rain. After that here comes the sun.

She: And I say "It's allright!"...

couple of words [69]

He: The narrator on that movie was right. Most days pass without any remarkable happenings. That's why I value the little things.

She: I guess most days pass with difficulties. The good ones are the remarkable.

He: But we learn more on the hard days.

She: I kinda disagree.
For me, we learn with the hard and the good ones. No matter what we learn, there's always something yet to think about.

He: Or to talk about. Perhaps you're right.
Want more coffee? I know I want.

She: Not for me, I'm already tired and awake.

He: Just for me then.
So... I guess this is not an universal thing, right? I mean, we'll never be sure of what's more important for us to valuate things, the good days or the hard ones.

She: It's like discuss about politics or religions.

He: Or sports!

She: Yeah, so don't start it.
Most people think that discuss about things is boring or risky. And we don't talk about things anymore, we say our opinions and nevermind about different ones.

He: Yeah. It's ironic how the modern life brings us together and yet we don't talk anymore like before.

She: But not us.

He: Oh no. We like to talk!

She: Sometimes is funny how people look at us. "They don't ever stop talking? What a strange couple!"

He: Hahahah. Being strange, nowadays, is normal. The normal ones are the strange people, I guess.

She: That is an universal truth!

couple of words [68]

She: But that's what I'm talking about... Happiness is something particular.
We can agree in one or two things, perhaps more... But it's different from people to people.

He: But there are some universal things. Like summer.

She: Not for everyone, you know...

He: Mmm.
Then what is happiness to you?

She: Lots of things!

He: Like..?

She: The little things... Don't laugh, it is not a cliche...

He: Tell me one and I won't laugh!

She: [...]
When I leave the computer on the shuffle mode and it plays the song I wanna hear.

He: That is simple allright.
I guess it's like spending the entire day with you. The big picture is too much happiness to ask, but the little things... They happen all the time, and there is the joy.

She: You got my point...

He: So tell me, why wouldn't you just play the song you wanna hear at once?

She: Because the best things in life are unexpected!
You know that.

He: Mmm I guess I do.
We weren't expecting each other, after all.

couple of words [67]

He: Hello there.

She: Hey dear! Are you feeling better?

He: I feel like I'm dying, but thank you for ask...

She: Exagerated!

He: I haven't even seen you leaving this morning... By the way, tell me something.
What's up with the post-it on the bathroom mirror?..

She: Oh didn't you like it?.. It was just something for you to know cause I couldn't wake you this morning...

He: Shh I loved it.

She: Just my wishes for you to get better quick... Plus you're the one that started this 'post-it thing'.

He: Hahahah *cough*. I know..

She: Don't laugh! Your throat isn't recovered yet...

He: You make me laugh and I wanna see anyone saying that this doesn't make me get better!

She: Okay mister. But now you must save your voice. I bought some honey, have some with a cup of tea... And your medicines are on the cabinet...

He: Don't you worry, lady, I know where's everything. But what I really need is some other honey, you know.

She: Hahahah I knew you were going to say something like that... I guess you're getting better already.

He: How could I not with your magical post-it?..

couple of words [66]

He: Why would you want to help them?

She: Because they seem to have problems... You know, we had it too.

He: Yes, and we solved by ourselves. Imagine how awkward would be if someone tried to help us.

She: I know, but... I feel helpless watching them almost finishing...

He: You have to think that these things we can't intervene. If they are a couple strong enough, if they like each other that much, they will solve.

She: I don't think it's that simple.

He: I do. See, if it didn't work I don't think it was meant to be. I don't think that this person was the love of your life. When this happens, no matter what, both of them will work it out.
As we did, right?

She: Perhaps you're right... But I still wanted to do something for them...
[...]
So, tell me how did you handle me?

He: I must tell you... I was very disappointed when you were having doubts... And didn't call me or anything.

She: I didn't because I was having doubts...

He: I know. But it was frustrating. But after all you decided for the right thing...

She: Because when you like someone that much you can't bear leaving it for a long time.
And that's what shows if it's gonna work.

He: See. You know these things, I didn't have to tell you not to do anything about our friends. They will work it out. Or won't. That's life happening.

She: We had to discuss about it. That's us being.. Us!

couple of words [65]

He: Hello.

She: Hey dear. I'm sorry I couldn't reply your message before. I'm without my credits, you know...

He: Hahah I do. Are you working now?

She: Yup. But I had to call you so you wouldn't think I avoided you, okay?

He: Hahahah. You didn't have to. But I'm glad you did.
You know, I don't send you messages hoping for a reply. I send'em to cheer you.

She: Sweet!
Oh I have to go now. Thank you for the message. And it's reason. Dinner tonight?

He: I'll be at your place at... Eight?

She: Nope! Seven, if you can. I'm happy, want to go out and dance!

He: But you know I can't dance...

She: It doesn't matter. You're trying to is good enough!
Bye mister!

½ Translação

Somos todos assim. Sentimos saudade.

Alguns mais que outros, porém.

Saudade de uma estação que passou. De duas, três, um ano completo.

A Terra girou em torno do sol e já está -de novo- mais perto dele.

E a saudade...

Do calor que se aproximava junto com o final do ano.

Da estação quente e ensolarada.

Das conversas que pareciam não terminar enquanto não acabasse o assunto.

E dos assuntos que se renovavam sempre.

Só parando para dar espaço ao silêncio de contemplação.

E contemplávamos...

Saudade do verão, e do inverno que se seguiu também.

Estações embaladas por músicas sob medida.

Hoje, trilhas sonoras do que passou. Da saudade, e só dela.

Saudade, mais do que tudo, de ser importante.

De pertencer ao seu dia, semana, e mês.

Porém, assim como outras coisas, a importância também diminui.

E isso já não mais nos pertence.

1 ano. 12 meses. 365 dias.

E as coisas podem mudar como um giro de 180º.

Somos todos assim. Sentimos saudade.

Alguns menos que outros, porém.

 

 

 

 

 

 

couple of words [64]

He: You're awake.

She: Yeah. I'm... Thinking...

He: Mmm about what?

She: Kinda scared of the future, you know?

He: Don't mind about it.

She: Why not?

He: Cause... When time comes you'll forget how you wanted to act.

She: That's what scares me. Not knowing.

He: Listen... Before I fall sleep again, either if you're talking about us or other things, don't plan too much. Things are better when unexpected. For the better or worst.

She: You said that much with your eyes closed? Are you a sleep-walker?
[...]
Fell asleep?

He: No... Just... Thinking.

She: Funny. About what?

He: You know... How I used to be affraid of the future and stuff.

She: And you're not anymore?

He: Still a little, but... More secure about it.

She: The thing is, when we were kids the world seemed so big. And it is in fact. That's kind of scary.

He: That's the beauty of it. Explore it. Future only happens because of now.
And now I'm gonna snore. Don't say I didn't warn you...

couple of words [63]

She: Oh hi! I didn't know you were coming tonight...

He: Honey, you asked me to have dinner here, have you forgotten?

She: Oh probably I did, I'm sorry...
I'm glad you're here anyway.

He: Tough day ahn?

She: Tough is heaven compared to today, this week, this month!
Now I really need you to tell me something nice.

He: Like a compliment?

She: Well, yeah! I need to charge my self-esteem and there's no one better with it.

He: But... That's unfair.

She: Why dear?

He: Because a compliment it's only true when spontaneous.
Otherwise I would be just an actor... You know, acting.

She: Oh dear God this really is not my week...

He: Hey, relax a little. I didn't know if you wanted me to cook or wait for you, so I didn't do anything. But I brought the wine. Two bottles!

She: I say it's better that we better start them right now. Or after I take a shower, really need it now.

He: Yeah you go in there Piggy and I'll cook some pasta ok?

She: Piggy like in "The Muppets"? You're brave giving me nicknames while I'm on my pms!

He: Just go in there, take your shower, relax and get beautiful for me. No makeup cause you don't need it. When you go back everything will be set.

She: Now it's getting better...

[...]

She: Must confess, this was the best dinner ever. You did really good with these olives and tomatos.

He: Oh I'm flattered... But I guess it's true when they say "hunger is the best spice".

She: Either it's true or I have the best boyfriend ever.

He: Both of them so!

She: Hey, is it just me or I'm getting sleepy?.. Mmm I guess it's the wine...

He: You're just tired... But that's what the most beautiful in you.

She: Yeah? What?
You can keep talking, I'm just listening with my eyes closed...

He: Yeah... This is the most beautiful thing in you. To watch you falling asleep...
Now there's your compliment... Good night, Piggy.

couple of words [62]

He: Did you notice that when someone starts to count you are compelled to follow it?

She: Compelled? I don't know... It's more like curiosity.
Like when someone stares at something, you can't resist looking yourself.

He: I stare you always...

She: Hahahah but that doesn't count cause I know what you are looking at.

He: So... When I stare at you, what am I seeing?

She: There's a difference between look and see!

He: Not so much. It's more like... Stages of the same process.

She: How's that?

He: The whole process is "to stare". The first act is to look... Evaluate shortly...
And then the second act is to see... Take conclusions of what you're seeing and what this makes you feel and think.

She: This seems like another Science you forgot to told me you knew...
So, when you stare at me, what do you see and feel and think?

He: First tell me what do you think when you see yourself in the mirror.

She: Oh that's unfair.

He: Exactly.
I see and feel and think that it's unfair to spend most of my time without you.

She: Mmm now I got this counting talk. I have an idea. We stare at each other counting.
The first to miss the sequence loses!

He: Talking about unfair...

couple of words [61]

She: I know that song you're whistling, mister!

He: Of course you do. It's been a long cold lonely winter, little darling...

She: Oh don't complain! Not that lonely!
Amazing how a sunny day can pull you in a good mood.

He: Not just the sun, dear... It's just a small part. I'm excited because it's a sunday like any other we spend together.

She: Like any other sounds boring.

He: My life is never boring with you.
But I did missed the heat though.

She: It seems like years since it's been here, right?

He: ... Quite allright, my dear!
I feel like taking you to a 1960's British rock club tonight.

She: Oh you should've told me before. I would do my hair, and nails properly, plus I wouldn't know what to wear...

He: Don't mind, little darling! You're just perfect with a skirt or flowered dress, some lipstick and hair slightly tied.

She: Wow. I know you notice things, but I didn't know my boyfriend had such a knowledge about women's make-up and clothes!
This is only with me right?

He: Hahahah funny lady. I don't stare at women's purses to see if their earrings match, is this enough?

She: I'm glad. It's not always that I have the time to choose these things properly. Now, speaking of earrings: which pair you prefer?

He: Hey, I sincerely don't care. You're beautiful with either. Or neither!

She: Now this is the boyfriend I knew. Hahahah ok, girly things. I know which one!

He: We haven't been talking much lately.

She: We did, but discussed and ended up giving up arguing.

He: But this is not right...

She: What part? Because we're not arguing again...

He: We already discussed before but this never happened. Things got better right after we finished.

She: I guess because this time we had good reasons to do it.

He: Even though...
[...]
We're not the typical couple. When we discuss we end it agreeing more than before

She: I guess that sometimes even the perfect couples has to disagree a little to develop.

He: Now you said it all.

[...]

She: Plus, like this music says: "Last thing I remember, things were getting better..."

He: "I'd go anywhere with you", dear!

He: You're staring at the fire.

She: Yeah. It's beautiful isn't it? The wood burning, slowly.
You can seat in front of the fireplace and look at it till there's only ashes left.

He: Agreed... Plus, the sound is also a music to the ears.

She: I guess... When we stare at something silently for a while, whatever you're looking at, it becomes poetic.

He: Now you got why "everything seems poetic to me, when I want it"...

She: Ohh no, I unmasked your gift!

He: Yeah. Now what do I have to prevail? I'm finished!

She: Ohh don't be sad, I'm pretty sure you'll always be the master of it.

He: Mmm it's funny, because the reflection of the fire on your face is pretty...

She: What, will you draw me?

He: I wish I knew how to!
Instead I'm gonna stare at you for a while... Ask me again what I'm thinking in a few minutes...

She: Say hello to the camera!

He: What are you doing?

She: Just a trailer of our holiday trip. Now don't be rude and say 'hello'!

He: "Hello, strange watching me. Hope you're having a great time on your computer desk while I'm away!"

She: I'm glad I told you not to be rude!
"You watching us there, don't be mad. Have a nice day!"

He: That was a unexpected... But you know, this light wasn't good at all to shoot. This video probably is going to be a little dark.

She: I know, mister. Even so, I think this sunset was worth to try.
Plus you look so serious driving hahahah.

He: So you wanted to show our friends that we are having fun in a video shot in the road?

She: Of course. Road movies rules all, don't you know?

He: You're full of surprises.
And wasn't me that said that about the road movies?

She: It was, memoryless!

He: Well, I'm glad. We're making our own road movie.
Don't you think we should talk about our existencial problems and what we're looking for in this trip?

She: Well, the only existencial problem I can think about right now is the time we're gonna spend together. And the only thing I'm looking for is to make some memories about it...

He: Yeah. A different kind of road movie. But I guess we can sell it anyway!

couple of words [57]

He: You were the reason why my gastritis got worse, you know?

She: Me? Why?

He: Well... I don't know if it's too soon to say that, but... Before it was 'oficial' I was always tense, not knowing if we would keep going out, if you you was getting annoyed with me, that kind of stuff.

She: It's required a lot of stress and bad food habits for this disease to become this serious... Plus, you didn't look so nervous to me.
If you did I would think something was wrong with me, I'm glad!

He: Yeah, I know it was silliness... But I was tense. I still didn't know if you liked me that way, and then I realized that I missed you everyday... And couldn't see you or ask you out because doing that I was showing "too much interest", as some people told me...

She: Wow, calm down mister. And I thought that women thought too much about these things... Good to know hahah.

He: And the thing is... You, I mean, women, always knows the answer. A guy who likes a girl can't be sure if she has the same feeling, so he tortures itself about not knowing this... Don't think every men are cruel, because it's not like that... We suffer a lot, but we must not demonstrate it!

She: Mmm... Now I'm interested about it. I can see a lot of discussions about feelings coming hahahah!

He: The only problem is that doing this at a cinema line people keep staring at us...

couple of words [56]

He: It was something like a rollercoaster. I didn't know if you were interested but I liked your company too much to be apart...

She: Well, like I said... At the beginning I wasn't. I needed just to be with myself, to cure my scars... Trynna trust in other people once again.
And it came within a month or less.

He: Sometimes I think if I wasn't too damn lucky, you know? Like, if we have met in other situations things wouldn't turn this right.
But of course, it's more like a "thank God it happened just this way" thought, so I remember to be thankfull.

She: I guess everything happened the way it was supposed to. I don't know if it's luck, destiny or whatever. But since it's a pretty rare feeling when its reciprocal, I guess we should be thankfull allright.

He: Well, looking at this way... I guess you weren't mean to me.

She: And you weren't a memoryless womanizer. Just a guy afraid of telling some girl that he liked her...
And the thing is, we could be so natural with each other that this happened naturally.

He: Well, enough said about our past, this drawer cleaning got me hungry!

She: You barely reached the half of your souvenirs!..

He: Oh we have all the time in the world to do it, like that old song says.

She: Uh-oh mister, these are yours! Now I'm focused in finishing this dinner properly without burning anything!

He: If you do burn it I'll add the recipe to the "funny memories" part of the souvenirs!
