Y Entonces
Sylvia Rexach
And Then
Remember that just
By seeing me you trembled
If you loved me like that, oh, poor you!
If now you try to forget
It seems you don't know
How little you have lived!
I warn you, it's difficult and very slow
That process of forgetting
And even if an apparent forgetfulness surprises you
Tell me what you'll do when someone unintentionally mentions me
And that rain of memories falls
Into your soul again
And then
If at the beginning of the day
You refuse to remember me
Oh poor your nights if you use them
To forget about me!
Oh poor your nights if you use them
To forget about me!
