Tantas Palavras

So many words
That I knew
Just by hearing them, talking
So many words
That she liked
And repeated
Just because she liked

They had no translation
But they matched well
Every session she turned into an actress
'Give me a kiss, darling'
'Play it again'

We exchanged confessions, sounds
In the cinema, dubbing passions
Moving mouths
With hollow words
Or out of oneself
My mouth
Without me understanding
Said it's over
It's over

So many words
That I knew
And no longer speak, never
How many words
That she loved
Have gone out of circulation

We learned
Hard words
Like how to say I lost, I lost
Silly words
Our words
The one who spoke is no longer here
