I could have love you

May 2020 has arrived,
With him, the end of the cherry blossoms
You took advantage of your day off.
To go right, left and end up in the cafe
From my thesis to finish, I preferred to escape
To breathe the fresh air and stop thinking

A latte to relax you
A tight espresso on my side
The stress not wanting to leave me
You have seen me keep agitating myself.
With shy smile, you spoke to me
Everything, nothing except the verb to study

Your baker's job
Was making you a quirky routine.
My wasted hours were to be written.
I couldn't wait for it to be over.
You talked to me passionately about reading.
I was answering you film to laze around.

We would have left.
To better cross paths
An invitation over a drink to share more
An evening at the cinema without being able to decide
Your theatrical cravings that I tried to avoid
My trips to the museum where you wanted to escape

End of university
I will have seen another country for a change.
You would have continued your days without moving.
I would have missed you.
I would have come back to find us better.
We wouldn't have known what the future might hold.
But that didn't matter as long as we weren't apart.
It would have been the two of us against the whole world.

But I am alone in front of my closed door.
I never saw you.
No more at the cafe than at the theater
Your smile would have eluded me.
From our masked visions
I did not go traveling.
My thesis is not over.
Since my hopes had been locked away
