for too long

i tried to kill loneliness

with the wrong weapons

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

every time i exhale

wrapped in smoke

i let go little pieces of you

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

i never noticed the empty side on my bed

until today, when i missed your

"good morning"

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

i won't lie,

i'd be happier if i could share these little moments

with you

- hot brew, no sugar, please

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

i miss everything you never were

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

at the end, for you and me

not to love each other

would be a dishonor to all those hearts

that ended broken

on behalf of us

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

some goodbyes you have for certain

since the first "hello"

and no matter how ready you feel

once they arrive

they drown you like when the river grows

you survive because is then time to face it

you widen as if you were a container

you fill yourself with feelings

they become yours

so deep in you, almost like second skin

you become impenetrable

still in your immense tenderness

you hold on to the you that once you were

until the wound heals

and the heart creates a new rhythm

for you to dance along

you once again, open up

ready for a new

"hello"

- i feel like this is life, every aspect of it / not just with people, but every human experience / there's something in finding yourself and falling in love...
