The Dream's Owner
I don't remember my birth, but I was breathingI recognized my mother with one look, without reasonI nestled my white body that was still so small close to herShe finally noticed it, and gave it a name
"How long have you been by my side? Do you want me to hold you?"I had no way to answer, so I just stayed close to herI hope it warmed her a little
Her daily life, which had been trivial, changed a lotShe fed me, took me on walks, and petted me a lotShe put a collar on me, even made me wear clothes, and tied me to a stringWhen people would visit, she'd show me off, proudly
"You don't leave my side even one moment, you're really attached to me"I stay close to you because I don't want you to forget meI hope that would make you remember me
I don't feel lonely, because I can be with youIt's just that, little by little, the number of timesYou call my name has diminished
I don't remember my birth, but I was breathingThe appearance I was made to take was already quite different from my nameI forgot my color and how to walkOne day, she too forgot the name she had bestowed me
Her tears fell on the cheeks of the completely changed dreamTough she touched it, the texture was differentShe took off the clothing she had made it wear, and shed tearsAh, I remember, it had such a white body
"I dirtied it with these hands? I locked it up with these hands?"The collar was taken off my painful neckAnd I was freed
I'll always be by your sideIf I stay next to you, it's not because you've tied me to a string or put a collar on meBut because I want to
I don't feel lonely, because I'm living with youI'm satisfied by you just calling my nameHey, please don't forget that alone
