Los Colores de una Sombra

You never come up in conversations,
between us nobody talks about you,
it's the truth.

I'm not saying this to impress you,
I see those hours descending,
every day one more floor.

I've dedicated meaningless lines to you,
lines that without periods are abysses,
you could look out.

Without hesitation I would do it for you.
Will you understand if I speak to you like this?
Will you be offended? I achieved it.
You are nothing but shadows now.

Maybe I'm lying to you,
it turns out I can't accept
that I still miss you
and that this missing keeps growing.

And now I lie almost always,
everyone does it,
I deceive others and deceive myself.
What the hell is the truth for?

And my ships are sinking
just by mentioning you,
ships that are sinking,
the captain greets you dignified and broken.

Will you understand if I speak to you like this?
Will you be offended? I achieved it.
You are nothing but shadows now.

You are talking to no one,
enough, shut up!
You are losing your mind,
there's no one here anymore.

But if you have heard me,
come on, get out!
Or stay, my shadow.
And if in return I tell you once more?

You see, I'm lying to you,
you see, I couldn't accept it,
that I still miss you
and that this missing keeps growing.

Every time I remember you, an image comes to me,
we were you and me on a safari in the park.
