Analysis of you & me against the universe

nina 2002 (Paraguay)



i asked the universe
to send me a signal
if we shouldn’t be together

it sent me one
and then another one
until there were thousands of them

but i chose to ignore them all
because i wanted to believe
that you and me could be together

even if the universe is against us.
