Idiot!
They laughed
When she looked at the horizon
No one knew
She could see that
Sky never kissed the earth
They laughed
When she looked up at the sky
Idiot!
No one knew she looked into the infinite space
Seeking…
They mocked
When she kissed a youth
What would an idiot know about love?
No one knew
That she had kissed Life
And paid her compliments
For being alive,
For being able to laugh and cry
For being able to love
