Absence

I do not have the right words to tell you.

The most frequents are “I Miss you”.

And I remember our hands waving “see you soon”,

in that late afternoon, without knowing it was a goodbye.

And, in my own reflection,live the dreams you dreamed for me,

through your eyes,

two pieces of sky in a stormy day,

giving me shelter from the bad weather in the fragility of my early years.

A smell runs through the road of Time, 

breaking in my moments of stillness and living memories.

I feel your life running in mine, 

a heritage going so much further than our resemblance,

in wich I can still see you.

And, larger than the words “I Miss you”

Lives in me the word “Absence”.
