A New Time Was Born

I approached you, and the flash sound of your voice embraced me. ‘Twas somewhere, near the divine idea. I had not met you before, but when we united our voices to be together, in this way, I felt the eternity floating in the air, that kind of white eternity, in which everyone would want to stay. So many people crowded in between us that we seemed to be two points on a world map. So long as the distance between us that we seemed to leave the idea of being together to go to different Poles. It was the time when the sun was declining beneath the blue horizon in a ring of fire, when the moon rose, and when the coming night embraced the leaving day. It was our twilight. It was the time when the stars began to appear on a new dark sky. I started to be afraid of losing you. I took the elapsed time, and I hung it on the 'Lyre' constellation. The existent seconds flowed into that space with a terrible rapidity. A new time was born, in which we became existent. I felt you wished to touch me. I felt the tenderness of your voice. Our feelings flowed into the 'Bird of Paradise' constellation. Suddenly, a ring of stars began to fall. I did not know if it was a real rain of stars or a fireworks show, and I didn't know whether we could embrace each other, but I felt that I was irreversibly transformed into another new woman.
