The Diary
There is a heart
Please come back
Today by chance I found the diary
That was forgotten about you
Its lines reflected a story
That didn't have a good ending
And I learned so many things about her life
That foolishly I ignored
That I set her aside without caring
About the most beautiful part of her love
The first page said she loved me
With a heart drawn on the cover
And a thought for me
On the second page of the diary
She explained
Why she was leaving my life
That she was doing it for her own good
And I reread, reread
And I learned so much about her life
That in the years
I lived with her
She only asked me on a Sunday
To sit at the table
And tell me about the things in her diary
I had to tell her
I forgot to water the garden
I sent the little things far away
To the same distance as the north from the south
I built a house for myself in oblivion
And she left
She left one morning, her eyes were crying
A child told me that she seemed to hesitate
If she wanted to leave
I forgot to water the garden
I sent the little things far away
To the same distance as the north from the south
I built a house for myself in oblivion
For myself
A friend I hadn't seen in a long time
Asked me about her
With pockets full of sadness
I confessed my dream to him
That she left at the beginning of this day
That she protested only with her silence
And I never wanted to listen to her
And where is she, where is she
In another town, another country
Looking for relief
To sell her wounds
Friend, if one day you find her there
Tell her something about my life
Tell her that I love her and that I haven't seen the sun since the day she left
I forgot to water the garden
I sent the little things far away
To the same distance as the north from the south
I built a house for myself in oblivion
And she left
She left one morning, her eyes were crying
A child told me that she seemed to hesitate
If she wanted to leave
I forgot to water the garden
I sent the little things far away
To the same distance as the north from the south
I built a house for myself in oblivion
I forgot, ho ho ho
I forgot
