Milonga

Let's talk about loneliness
I never entered your house again
But I memorized with precision
All the things as I left

Verses scattered on the floor
Memories of what I didn't witness
But I memorized with precision
Like the past that I created myself

And all I can offer
Are my words to you
(In the plagiarism of a beautiful melody)
And all I want to tell you
I'm tired of writing
I want to see you before it's day

But tell me why you're leaving
But tell me why you're so afraid
If you don't wake up early
Nor work, study, or date

But tell me why the time has come
Now that I've overcome my fear
I took you by the fingers
To dance while the Sun delays

To arrive bringing dawn
And the blinding light that scares me
And like a torpedo
I glide, I fly in a sea of sheets

And each fold tells stories
Of many of them I'm afraid
There are many plots
Entangled and intoxicated like us
So alone, like us, so alone

Why do you insist on saying
That there's still life without you?
Why do you insist on saying
That there's still life without you?

(When you least expect it, it will hurt
And I know how it will hurt
And it will pass as it passed through me
And make you feel like this
Like I feel)

(Like I see how I live like
I never tire of singing, I know you'll hear
I know you'll remember, you'll pray to forget
You'll ask to forget, but I won't let you
I won't let you)

And I don't want to remember what I was to you
Just a distraction for you to forget
I don't want to remember that we reached our end

I don't want to remember that I'll wake up
Knowing my eyes won't find you
I don't want to remember that it's over for me

I'll forget you, I'll forget you
(I'll forget you, I'll forget you)
Why do you insist
On saying that there's still life?
