Don't go out for a walk in the strawberry spring, don't approach the parking lot next to the highway, don't envy the boy whose eyes are illuminated by love, don't fall in love with the person who understands all your needs, don't expect someone to catch you when you fall off the ladder... And don't talk to me in a wheelchair, I am just a door, those eyes hidden under my bandages are about to wake up.
