Água-viva
ANAVITÓRIA
Jellyfish
The temples of your glasses lay on the table
Your thumbs fogging up the lenses
Our past gazes at me from the photographs
I swear, I've felt certainty before
My desires so inconsistent
One day they're concrete, the next, everything is so fleeting
If I could have one more wish, I'd ask you
Keep the best of what we had
The confidences, even if trivial
I keep them secret
Not everyone is as lucky as we were together
And it's so good to know that someone who knows me so well exists
The seat in my car reclines
But you no longer lie on it
I drive past your street
But I don’t turn the signal on
And the habits we crafted
I unlearn every day
The absences hurt progressively less, that's what you would say
If I could have one more wish, I'd ask you
Keep the best of what we had
The confidences, even if trivial
I keep them secret
Not everyone is as lucky as we were together
And it's so good to know that someone who knows me so well exists
