Twelve Years

Do you still remember me?
It's been a long time since we met
I cared about childish games
And happy phrases to sing.

I learned to love your silence,
Drawing a smile on your face.
Feeling your eyes looking for mine,
A true speechless love.

Since the day I met you
You introduced yourself in silence
Not even touching fingers
But feeling the softness of your skin.

Silence ready to attack
Fingers ready to touch
Always embracing my hugs
Making sure you are the first one.

I covered my eyes with my hands
Imaging you standing on the door
Waiting for me with a smile
Such a blind love.

No one else knew me this well,
Only you made me laugh
No one else shared my love
In silence without saying a word.

You had the virtue to protect me,
Keeping my fear for darkness away
Making plans for the future
Giving me peace everyday.

We escaped west on a Friday night,
Trying to follow the sun.
A sick lie you tell everyone,
True love is not the first one.

I followed you, like a signature,
At the end of a suicide letter.
Powerful words from the hearth
Reduced to a piece of paper.

Now we poison the room
Filling it with fake love.
Hiding the bad humor,
Just trying to sleep the night.

It's been more than twelve years
Frozen dreams and dead fears
Bad memories and unpleasant taste
Without wet tears.

The past became regrets
You showed me what I was running from.
I learned to love abuse
I was confused and you let me go.

Back from the dead,
Waiting from me to smile and share.
All I can think is about the days
And night you made me wait.
