She stands in the kitchen, cooking
He sits on the couch, watching
There's a game of soccer on the TV
He asks, she makes him a cup of coffee
He's on the balcony, smoking half a cigarette
She irons him a shirt that he likes
She rolls on her finger the ring
That he gave her when she gave him her heart
Sometimes he caresses her for a moment
By mistake or maybe on purpose
She looks at his face and he's beautiful to her
Like he was not affected by the signs of time
She lights Shabbat candles and prays
He returns from the synagogue, smiling
For thirty years she opens the door for him
She waits, he never comes late
Sometimes he caresses her for a moment
By mistake or maybe on purpose
She looks at his face and he's beautiful to her
Like he was not affected by the signs of time
Sometimes he caresses her at night
Or maybe he reaches out while dreaming
She wakes up next to him
And she knows how to say that together is the opposite of alone
