Sempre
Emanuele Aloia
Always
It’s snowing outside again
You, so poetic, and here I am
Confused
Among the people who seem
Seem and maybe deep down resemble you
Light as a blink of an eye
This time doesn’t give us certainty and
I heard you crying
You, so beautiful and fragile
Among all the promises
You’re the only one I’d keep forever
I always told you
Now that you’re far away
Despite everything, you know I’ll love you forever
But you know, it’s pointless
To pretend to be strong
It’s almost like trusting the words of a night
You have your mother’s eyes
And you remind me of the years
Spent chasing you
If I ran into you now, you’d be different
Like seeing clouds in a starry night
You managed to give meaning to my whole life
I, who had the chaos of Guernica inside me
And I heard you crying
You, so beautiful and fragile
Among all the promises
You’re the only one I’d keep forever
I always told you
Now that you’re far away
Despite everything, you know I’ll love you forever
But you know, it’s pointless
To pretend to be strong
It’s almost like trusting the words of a night
And I still feel your scent imprinted on me
I look at my reflection and don’t recognize myself
We could’ve made the whole world envious
As the stars, and now we’re just the background
We who danced in the middle of a storm
Hand in hand, it was always a party
Now I don’t remember how to dance anymore
The rain tonight, you know it resembles you?
And I’ll search for you forever
I always told you
Now that you’re far away
Despite everything, you know I’ll love you forever
But you know, it’s pointless
To pretend to be strong
It’s almost like trusting the words of a night.
