Te vi

You are the harmony with distortion
For a life made into a song
The baby I met, the woman I discovered

You are the smile that helped me
A look that surrendered to me
That childhood I lost, that I had already let go

And I saw you sing
While that old cassette played forgotten
Of the Ramones we listened to as kids

When summer was about swimming, seeking the sunset
Stealing from the sea, maybe the sky melted into your skin
When saying

I am the one who looks at you and thanks you
For the good and the bad, all that we are
A whole life together always, and you
A pair in duet, a couple in twos

You are the hate with the love
The confession that accused me
If it's my blood, and I understood that you are not like me

Every memory of what I am
Carries your name imprinted, and today
If I had to choose, I would say I saw you

In this jazz
That dad took over for teatime
Or in the torture of an insect or little bug

Or don't you remember when we were scared of the dark
And the game was for you to come with your head under my feet
To scream

I am the one who looks at you and thanks you
For the good and the bad, all that we are
A whole life together always, and you
A pair in duet, a couple in twos
