Carta Aberta
Mariana Pereira
Open Letter
After so many goodbyes
Maybe one day you'll get it right
And the promises you made are already washed away
From the beach houses in conversations that went nowhere
You moving on while I’m stuck going the wrong way
In every moment, I’m always alone
While you said we were meant to be forever
And our photo on the cover that’s been taken down
To help me forget what was once mine
I remember the extra kisses you gave me
I remember the hours that felt the same
And the cigarettes I never lit for you
And the letters I kept just for myself
And our tastes always so alike
And our handwriting tattooed in the papers
Nothing else reminds me of you
Except for what’s around me
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
All my friends talk about you
About our journey and the endless smiles
I add the periods I keep to myself
We made plans with none to deny
That one day in the future we’d be two getting married
I just don’t know if it’s with you or the same old look
And the boat arrives at moonlight hours
Back to dinners and talks at the bar
Just like it started and never wanted to end
I remember the extra kisses you gave me
I remember the hours that felt the same
And the cigarettes I never lit for you
And the letters I kept just for myself
And our tastes always so alike
And our handwriting tattooed in the papers
Nothing else reminds me of you
Except for what’s around me
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Uh uh
Uh uh
