Time kills

It has been a while since

I've last seen happiness filtered through

your lips and

your fingertips touch like magical keys

happiness

deeply expressed through your soul

It has been a while since

I have written any significant thing on an empty wall

In Tangier's whiteness

Where the sun used to shine in circles

while butterflies flew inside me

It has been a while
indeed
probably too faraway 
from this life
to make any sense to recall it
