Before and After

Before, a long time ago,
I invited you to hunt deer
After that, I went along with you
to fetch grass for your bedding
Before, in an ambush, I protected you,
and I'd lose an eye to a sword
After that, you invited me to watch the moon,
the same moon now on your window
 
Before, a long time ago,
conquerors imposed on us their God of fear
After that, you hugged me
and you licked me on every wound, on every sore
Before, I wore shackles
And in a market, above the docks,
you purchased me
 
"What a pleasure is to meet you again"
we tell each other without a word
today everything starts over
and it will be like it's always been
"What a pleasure is to meet you again"
we tell each other without a word
today everything starts over
and it will be like it's always been
 
After that, you gifted me
that portrait that below earth
is still making me company
 
"What a pleasure is to meet you again"
we tell each other without a word
today everything starts over
and it will be like it's always been
"What a pleasure is to meet you again"
we tell each other without a word
today everything starts over
and it will be like it's always been
 
Our love shall be reborn
with its same identical passion
souls without transmutation
shall be new bodies once again
