Christ taking leave his mother

I've seen you doing it a thousand times, hidden.

I never really had the proof, but your red eyes betrayed you.

I saw your shoulders, your hands clasped together.

I saw you suddenly get up and run away. Your bashful cheeks, a broken smile on your lips. Your eyes couldn’t even look into mine.

Yet you never really did it in front of me.

I would have understood you and hugged you.

Don't cry for me, don’t ever cry.
