This Time Around

"(...)When I meet you, in that moment, I’m no longer a part of your future. 
I start quickly becoming part of your past.
But in that instant, I get to share your present.
And you, you get to share mine. 
And that is the greatest present of all. 
So if you tell me I can do the impossible, I’ll probably laugh at you. 
I don’t know if I can change the world yet, because I don’t know that much about it – and I don’t know that much about reincarnation either, but if you make me laugh hard enough, sometimes I forget what century I’m in. 
This isn’t my first time here. 
This isn’t my last time here. 
These aren’t the last words I’ll share. 
But just in case, I’m trying my hardest to get it right this time around."

Sabem tão bem quanto eu que até pode ser num pacote de açúcar. Num cartaz publicitário. Numa conversa interceptada numa viagem de metro. Em qualquer lugar, em qualquer altura, vai haver alguém que nos consegue surpreender com aquelas ideias que de tão óbvias, conseguem dançar à nossa frente e falar por nós, sem que as vejamos.

Uma boa noite,
o Homem do Meio.
