# Only those who know can tell

We don’t talk much about the triggers,
the ones that every time make our hearts bigger.
A simple sound, texture or smell,
the little details only those who know can tell.

The tiny things that can pass unforeseen,
but that are rooted to your heart, encoded to feel.
Casualidades they are, or a boost of dopamine.
An echo of a time that was supposed to be kept.

Yesterday sounds ring on today,
palpitations inside, those were the days.
For a moment you jumped in time, or between dimensions,
it wasn’t dopamine, it was just tension.
