Amor Quote by Manuel Alves
““Deitei-me. Fiquei ali, na pedra fria do passeio. As pessoas a passarem e eu, alheio, deixei-me estar jogado no seu meio. Na minha cama. No meu drama. Nem sequer era de pedra. Era uma cama com muito menos poesia no existir. Era um coração apaixonado sem sentir. Era cimento. Era leito dado ao desconforto de me cobrir com lençóis feitos de vento.””
