Onboard Diary

She and He

They hardly ever stared at each other;
Although sometimes they couldn't avoid a light touch that pretended to be of chance,
Looks exchanged,
speaking about something trivial while holding breath.

Both sensed that Paradise was a place in memory.
They both knew that, opposite of Earth; in Space there are infinite possibilities.
That paradise existed, one with lakes, skies and leaves that were, finally, green and warm.
