a man...

there was a young man over that corner,
doing nothing albeit he had a book in hand,
it seems for eternity, 
he kept on staring at the cover,
somehow he couldn't muster the courage to open it,
his thoughts, flew a thousand miles away,
slowly it slipped, perhaps for eternity,
there are so many things came by,
for almost a never ending second, 
the birds stopped chirping,

it was very solemn, it was quiet all the way,
there was nothing left he thought,
he realized that there were cats even before he came to that corner,
cats that had been with him since before,
he wanted to open his mouth, he wanted to pat them, he wanted to hugged them,
but he was afraid,
he wanted to go away, to embarked a new journey, leaving behind everything, without any good-bye,
then one of the cat came, and sat in front of him,
then another one came, sat next to him, then another one came, sat on his lap,
they didn't make a sound, they just stay there, and wait,
and wait and wait and wait, that were all they did,
they were all looking at him, and after a while, he heard a sound,
the cat on his lap, seemed to say "it's ok, we're with you" with his meow and his purr,
and finally, he open the book...
