- IF YOU FORGET ME
Want you to know
one thing.
You know how this is:
if I look
The glass moon, the red branch
Of the slow autumn in my window,
If i touch
next to the fire
The impalpable ash
Or the crumpled body of the firewood,
Everything takes me to you,
As if all that exists,
Aromas, light, metals,
Were small sailing boats
To the islands of yours that await me.
However,
If you slowly stop loving me
I will stop loving you little by little.
Yes, suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
That I have already forgotten you.
If you consider it long and crazy
The wind of flags
What's going on in my life
And you decide
To leave me to the bank
The heart in which I have roots,
Thinks
That on that day,
at that time
I'll raise my arms
And my roots will come
To look for another land.
But
if every day,
hourly
You feel that you are destined for me
With implacable sweetness.
If every day climbs
A flower to your lips to look for me,
Oh my love my
In me all that fire is repeated,
Nothing in me is extinguished or forgotten,
My love is nourished by your love, my love,
And while you live it will be in your arms
Without leaving mine
