Time did not stop for us
I remember your arms holding me, like a star holds its planets,
like the skin holds its organs
But, as it turned out, I could live without you
And how long since then… was it years ago, was it yesterday
What if in this single life I only get to have had you
Fear corrodes me, as if my heart’s been exposed for too long
[This is not what I said the other day
My mind changes second after second and I cannot hide
I cannot avoid the waves that come and go,
much like an ocean that wanted to cradle itself to sleep, my
mind changes incessantly…
perhaps betting to confusion, perhaps betting to
shallowness]
Perhaps we were too much
Too much for one life…
What if justice does exist in this strange, shapeless form and
one who has had too much must then have very little
What then
Should I be able to go back, would I take less from you just
to be able to have more of him now?
You were the sun you always said I deserved, and I think you
knew that
We served and deserved each other, an exquisite plate of
flavors traveling beneath the tongue, into the brain, to satisfy the heart
But time did not stop
And now you are gone
And I breathe you every day
And I love you every second
But now, perhaps,
it's time to love and be loved again
it's time to love and be loved again
