MEMORIES
WITH YOU

Even though we are apart
And we’re not connected anymore
Our stories will always be in my heart
Be a beautiful memory in my life

There is a name that is still beautifully engraved.
There is a feeling that never changes
There is a heart that can not forget
When someone is trapped by a memory

You were the one who once made me fall asleep in my dreams,.
Floundering in erratic fantasies also incises wounds . . . .
now gone.
But memories of you will always last.

When the eyes start to close
There is hope engraved in dreams
About the most beautiful memories
that can not be forgotten
A story that can’t be erased

I’m still trying to keep running
Even though my legs are no longer able to stand
Avoiding the shadow of your face that continues to follow
As if reluctant to pass and go

It’s not easy to forget you
who has given me such a beautiful memory
But if leaving me can make you happy,
I have to be willing and learn
to accept everything sincerely.

With these fingers, I tore a little in the morning
I hide it in your pocket
As a binder when you leave,
Something is missing from my day.

I don’t regret ever having a moment of belonging to you
Even at such a great distance
strange indeed. . . . . We can love each other
Even though we never met,
Even though in the end you choose to go and pass.
