Slowly, time changes everything into time.
The hatred becomes time,
the love becomes time,
the pain becomes time.

The issues that we think deeper,
more impossible, more permanent and unchanging,
slowly become time.

By itself, time is nothing.
The age of nothing is nothing.
Eternity does not exist.
However, eternity is.

The moments of your eyes stuck on me were timeless.
The moments of your smile were timeless.
The moments of your body of light were timeless.

You were timeless until the end.

José Luís Peixoto

Virtutes & Vitia

About

I am not merely described by the letters in my name, but by the verses in my poetry.

Do not try to guide me, maybe I won't follow you.
Do not try to follow me, maybe I won't guide you.
Walk beside me, and you can be another friend.
