10. Sore de Iinda

It was a hot summer’s day and under the sun that shone above our heads
we set up our bikes and rode down the hill in one go

Saying things like ‘You don’t have to hurry so much’ and ‘I will chase after you’
even though there wasn’t anything there yet

The fact that I used to let them ride like that
was probably an expectation

Next was uphill, one person stood and started peddling
We still can’t see the other side of the peak
I wonder what is waiting there

Maybe there was nothing on that other side
We set up our bikes and rode up the hill in a trance
Just riding with all our strength, they were probably fine with that

And time passed, amidst a scenery
slightly different from that time,
I’m still riding, being carried by something, forgetting something

The way uphill that appeared is within my grasp, but
It’s not here, and I’ve become unable to ride any more
What is to become of this me?

That’s right, on a hot summer’s day, under the sun that shines above my head,
Does it look as if I can aim for that peak with my bike once more?

Maybe there is nothing, nothing on the other side
There is only one bicycle, there’s no one next to me anymore
Even so, I will ride with all my strength
Yes, surely, that’s enough for me
