Se Puder Sem Medo

Leave on top of this table the photo I liked
So I can think that your smile aged with me
Let me hold your hand one more time
So I can photograph my true shelter like this

Leave the room light on, the door slightly open
The crumpled sheet even if empty
Leave the towel on the table and the food ready
Just don't touch my voice, I silence myself

Let the heart speak what I kept silent one day
Let the house be quiet thinking it's still early
Let our love die without grace and without poetry
Leave everything as it is and if you can, without fear

Leave everything that reminds me, I pretend to forget
And when you don't come back, I pretend it doesn't matter
Let me see if I remember a catchy phrase
To say goodbye watching you close the door behind

Leave what is not urgent, I still need
Leave my sick gaze resting on the table
Leave your address there, I'll let you know anything
Leave what you pretended to take but left as a surprise

Let me cry like I never could with you
Let me face insomnia like a grown-up
Let me at least once pretend I can
If the goodbye takes long, the pain in the heart expands

Leave the record on the record player to think it's a party
Leave the drawer locked so I don't see your absence
Leave my insanity, it's all I have left
Let me test all my resistance

Let me confess my fear of light and darkness
Let me tell you my calm voice was a lie
Leave the faded denim pants hanging
That sway like our love at the slightest breeze

Let me dream that you're not in a hurry
Leave a last message at the neighbor's house
Leave sophistry and let's get to the point
Leave the pain I caused you, now it's all mine

Leave everything I didn't say but you knew
Leave what you kept silent and I needed so much
Leave what was nonexistent and I thought was there
Leave everything I asked for but thought I could give
