As the sun began to set,
He turned and asked me—
“How was your day?”
And I, too, fell into deep thought.
It was as if I suddenly realized…
The day has already slipped away.
What exactly did I do with it?
I did so much work, it’s true,
But I only recognized its worth
When someone finally stopped to ask.
We lose ourselves so completely—
In our struggles,
In our chores,
In the rush of other people
And the endless race against time.
Whatever happened in those hours,
We ourselves manage to forget.
Some things were good,
Some things went wrong.
Some things I skipped out of fear,
And a few moments brought me joy.
But what did I actually do with my life?
I stayed far away from our own all day long.
Then in the evening, I reunited with them…
But I forgot to leave those distances behind.
I held tight to my grievances,
And I forgot the simple bliss of being together.
