Mia

Why did she come to me, without asking for anything
I let her go without calling her mine
Like in a whisper, almost without naming her
I called her desire and she called me her life

She gave me, life, body, and soul
But without measuring how much I loved her
I was everything perfect in her eyes
But I never knew how to be what her love saw

I didn't know how to love her as she deserved
I didn't know how to love her or call her mine

Chorus
Without any sense, I filled her with absences
And she in her memory learned to evade them
I wanted to be for her what she asked of me
Without wanting it, I was only her wound
It's been more than a century since I last saw her
But I know she feels like it's only been a day
I didn't know how to love her as she deserved
I didn't know how to love her or call her mine
