Carta

I know you are free to leave
As well as to stay
Until we fine-tune gestures
And forget about language

Let the look be enough
To say I love you
Let a sigh be enough
To decipher your fears

Maybe that's why you leave
Maybe that's why you come back
Because of the new seriousness
Unbearable that terrifies us

That's why we keep
Forgetting loneliness
But when we leave
We both look back

And maybe that's true
And one day I'll leave too
That love doesn't last a century
And the river doesn't flow backwards

And maybe they're wrong
And fear plays us wrong
And to save us from pain
The wind leaves us behind

I know you'll surely find
A kiss that tastes the same
As my lips that now whisper your name
Softly to avoid facing it

I propose a deal to you
Because I can't take it anymore
With this constant attempt
To escape only to return

I propose to look at each other slowly
And make our skin a home
To flee openly
And reshape our idea of the sea

To reinvent time
To lay down arms in peace
To find meaning in the movement
Of a step that doesn't go back

And maybe that's true
And one day I'll leave too
That love doesn't last a century
And the river doesn't flow backwards

And maybe they're wrong
And fear plays us wrong
And to save us from pain
The wind leaves us behind

And maybe that's true
And one day I'll leave too
That love doesn't last a century
And the river doesn't flow backwards

And maybe they're wrong
And fear plays us wrong
And to save us from pain
The wind leaves us behind

Leaves us behind
