I kept your smile in a corner of my memory, Like an old light lost in the dark. The years have passed but nothing is erased, Your absence has engraved its name in space. I still talk about you when no one is listening, I retrace the path of our old roads. And sometimes in the night when everything becomes silent, I hold the remains of your absence against my heart. I am told that time ends up repairing, But certain memories refuse to go away... And I still cry... When your name crosses my decor... Like rain falling on a too short summer, Like a farewell letter written by love. I still cry... Even though you no longer hear my chords... Because some wounds never really die, They just learn to bleed slowly... I kept our photos in an old closed drawer, I never found the strength to burn them. Each image tells me a piece of the two of us, A happiness disappeared somewhere in the skies. I smile in front of others to hide the cracks, But my soul still knows each of its wounds. And behind my silences that no one sees, There remains a part of me that is still waiting for you. I am told to move forward, to learn to breathe, But how can I forget what made me exist? And I cry again... When your name crosses my decor... Like rain falling on a too short summer, Like a farewell letter written by love. I still cry... Even if you no longer hear my chords... Because some wounds never really die, They just learn to bleed slowly... If one day somewhere you think of us again, Know that I still love you a little despite everything. Not like before... no... differently perhaps, Like a faded star that continues to appear... And I still cry... In front of the ruins of our golden story... Like a last boat lost in the storm, Like a promise forgotten in my head. I cry again... But my tears no longer require any effort from you... They simply say that you existed, And that a part of me can never forget you... al) Some people leave... But their love remains sitting next to us... Forever... 💔🎹
