Por vezes, é nas entrelinhas de um sorriso macio e de um olhar que nos segura as mãos desajeitadas que encontramos o abraço que nos devemos e então descobrimos porto para as lágrimas por ancorar e amparo para as partidas que a vida ou o coração nos vão pregando. Por vezes, há momentos em que conseguimos finalmente pegar-nos nos braços e com eles nos envolvermos, aconchegarmos e massajarmos o coração amassado. Há momentos em que aprendemos a nos perdoar o que não podíamos saber, ser ou sentir de outra forma, em que encarnamos a absolvição das culpas sem dono que julgávamos jamais poder expiar e verdadeiramente aceitamos a claridade e as sombras da matéria de que somos feitos.
É então que, de quando em quando, vez após vez, nos vamos salvando, de nós mesmos e da desesperança, sobretudo.

How to save a life, The Fray

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you

(...)

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
