Let me hold you in my arms.

Let your breath become almost a barrier

Between us and what has to be told.

Neither a beginning nor an end

Just an unmistakable truth

Painful and unbearable.

I'm going to whisper so as to reach an intangible sky

You'll follow the whisper and you should find me there,

After having lost every ravishing season that you have brought

After having lost every landscape that sparkles in your body

After having lost every daylight that your smile has kept.

Now you are in my arms and I don't know how...

I don't know how to make the whisper turn into a letter

So that you can understand these words close to silence:

- I want to be alone -

That's the way I love.
