it’s the 25th of October again

they are now asking how old i am

i got stuck in 22, you know

that small gap between the present and your future

the neverland between today and tomorrow.

….

i feel that everything is still within my reach

just a few inches from becoming a reality

and yet i also feel they have passed

that they have become nothing but dreams.

….

i am twenty seven in a few hours

in less than a day i will be a year older

maybe,

being 22 finally going to be over.

i am craving
for something outside the norm
(giddy…unexpected…ridiculous)
the look that haunts dreams
and leads to great mornings.

i am trying to find
the one that fits the puzzle
(serene…loving…mine)
to complete the beautiful picture
that will finally start my life.
