The plot and the ending

I'm walking in Madrid with you by my side,
my hand on your waist
copying your hand on this waist of mine
walking slowly, almost yawning,
almost kissing the streets with our steps
as if we had nothing to do, but to pat sidewalks
 
and perhaps, without planning it
you just went for it and
I saw you changed your pace
until it was on phase
with my own pace
 
go and come, follow and lead, give and take,
getting in and out of phase.
Loving the plot more than the ending
Loving the plot more than the ending
 
it was a tiny jump
discreet,
just a minimum change of rhythm,
a slightly change of pace
and two strings that resonate with the same number
in different sides,
or the exact pace of two soldiers
like two intermittent lights
suddenly, synchronized
 
two distracted pedestrians
of sadness, they have made the hourglass stopped,
it shattered,
and now they are just following the wind's direction
 
go and come, follow and lead, give and take,
getting in and out of phase.
Loving the plot more than the ending
Loving the plot more than the ending
 
Going around like a Éric Rohmer's film
waiting for nothing to happen
Loving the plot more than the ending
Loving the plot more than the ending
 
I saw you changed your pace
until it was on phase
with my own pace
 
Loving the plot more than the ending
Loving the plot more than the ending
 
I'm walking in Madrid with you by my side.
