"A Minute of Silence"
Man, who are you?
Where did you come from?
Where are you going to?
Your image is vague... and you're not calm.
You didn't look at me, you avoided my gaze;
You walked that far without saying goodbye.
You looked back then and walked in haste,
I felt an emptiness... it made me cry.
Now that you're gone, I kept on thinking;
What was it then that you're trying to say?
After a while, my eyes were blinking;
I said I'll find you... come what may!
Then, I stood up; I saw you again.
I finally realized in a 'minute of silence'
You are my shadow, you are my friend;
You're no other than... my conscience.
