Tu Respuesta (Jorge Mlikota)

Your Answer (Jorge Mlikota)
Yesterday your name unintentionally crossed my door
That your memory left ajar as it passed by
The old dreams gathered to listen
As if trying to decipher an answer
They only found a closed love
Locked by the indifference
I need a proposal from your mouth
Because it's time to try to settle the scores
It's no longer useful to accumulate empty words
I only hope for concrete things from this love
Words are carried away by the wind
And the wind always keeps turning
I want to know if I can count on you
In case I decide to double down
I want to know if it was just a delirium
A mistake of our unconsciousness
Because suddenly, to go all in
I only need your answer
The illusions of this love are still awake
And there's no way to silence their conscience
When in the shadows I hallucinate with your name
And this ruthless silence answers me
But at night, your memory becomes a flame
Because missing you here on my skin became a habit
Sometimes I think love is a bonfire
That dazzles us in its glow and blinds us
It's the instinct to live that condemns us
To this torment of feeling fire in our veins
And even though the dagger of betrayal hurts us
We stumble over the same stone
