Bucaneve

Like a snowdrop, you appeared among the frost of my time
Surprising even me
This is the precise image that always comes to mind when I think of you
I think of you, as the days fade away, like autumn leaves turning red on the trees
Perhaps my biggest lie was to myself, hiding from you
But my feelings in flesh and bone are so real
Now: There's no more pretense
You don't know that by now I didn't believe anymore
In the return of that romantic world that you inspire
When I want you
How much I want you, you don't know, how much you still make me dream
Let me deceive myself
Let me still believe a little in an ideal of love that I have
You can't know
You can't know how much more life you give me
If I could reset my heart
Erase its memories
Too heavy for me
Delete the signs of every mistake
Clean it from the debris
From every stain that's there
I would like to find inside me again
The primal innocence of the soul
To give it to you
How much I want you, how much I want you, you don't know how much you still make me dream
Let me deceive myself
Let me still believe a little
In an ideal of love that I have
You can't know
You can't know
Let me deceive myself
Let me still believe a little in an ideal of love that I have
You can't know
You can't know how much more life you give me, that you give me
