A HARD THING TO DO
(Patrícia Evans)

Ask me and do it quickly
because I've decided to leave soon
I am in a hurry,
don't have much time
but I'd love you to know.
Ask me whatever you want
what is my favorite color
what happiness means to me
or if I have a pet.
What time I wake up
what are my hobbies
who I love
who I don't
if I like to drive
to travel
where have I been all these years
and why do I think
the world is infinite in itself.
What movie I like most
what book
what have I done
and chosen
gained
and lost.
If I like ice cream
if I think I am pretty
or if you are.
Ask about my hopes
my plans
and if you are a part of them
what goes in my heart
or mind.
Ask me
everything you have always wanted to
but have never had the courage
I know it is hard
because we know
I will tell you nothing
but the truth
and I know you know
I am in a hurry,
and I don't have much time
this time
to change my truth
but do it anyway.
