we met each other

I met you…
in a moment of laugher
and I don't remember 
what came up after

But I'll always love you
and that moment of dreaming
and whatever's above you
I know that it seizes me

You met me,
in a moment of sorrow
so please don't expect me
to be here tomorrow

But I always loved you
in that moment of meaning
in no matter you were through
in all that we dreamed in

I met you,
in a moment of laugher
and I didn't expect you
to know what came after

But I respect you
in this moment of leaving
and I won't neglect you
in the pain we're receiving

you met me... 
in a moment of dreaming
and I don't remember 
all that its meaning

But I'll always love you
in that moment of laughter
in wherever's your present
and whatever comes after

Oscar Wao

the next day
he woke up feeling
like he'd been unshackled
from his fat

like he'd been washed
clean of his misery

and for a long time
he couldn't remember
why he felt this way

and then
he said her name.
