Now and then it happens
unexpectedly
that someone smells like you
looks and laughs like you
suddenly begins to dance
just like you
or, out of the blue
says words you once said
At a reception in a large building
I see a man talking to a woman
and yes, I long for you
because of him, his constitution
"Hey, don't you remember me?
Come on! " he laughs jovially
It's him, and not, I know him
differently, cooler, more special
We start a neutral talk
in search of a goal
that is empty
not defended or too late
we play by feeling
neither of us is free
we fail to come closer
in public and to match again
