The song opens with the artist reflecting on the numerous stories and dreams that were left unfulfilled due to the untimely departure of a loved one. The lyrics, 'Tantas histórias que eu tinha para te contar / Tantas coisas que tinhas para alcançar,' highlight the abruptness of the loss and the emotional upheaval it caused, symbolized by the line 'Senti a terra completamente a abanar,' which translates to feeling the ground shake completely.
The chorus reveals the artist's coping mechanism: erasing the painful day from the calendar to avoid the constant reminder of the loss. This act of 'riscando aquele dia da minha vida' signifies an attempt to manage the overwhelming grief. The plea for reassurance, 'Diz me que está tudo bem,' underscores the need for emotional support and the hope that the departed loved one is in a better place, waiting for a reunion.

The song captures the duality of grief—pain and fond memories—through vivid recollections of laughter, tears, and mutual support. The artist's acknowledgment of feeling 'um pouco ausente' and the lingering heartache emphasizes the enduring impact of the loss, while the repeated assurances to not feel bad reflect a desire to find peace and acceptance.
