TO A FRIEND

Ever since she passed away
you couldn’t stand one day.
It feels like an aimless train.

And so it goes
and so it ends.
And so your life gets stuck into the moment when you met.

And now...
What can I say?
The house you’ve built togethers is slowly crumbling down
into the corners of your head, and you don’t care and you regret
of all the thing you didn't say or all the times you’ve said “I’m not prepared”

Cause every day in a lonely life
can make you doubt whether you’re living a pathetic lie.
So from this day until the day you die
you can't forget her smiling face that season of july
and that’s more real than your breath,
the drops that fall over your chest,
the cold and empty space that used to be her side of the bed…

So start again.
Start again, my friend.
Start again.

Now and then you’re feeling doubts.
Staring her photo albums,
shivers through your back.
But with every glance and in every thought
your intangible bond becomes unsteady, and you wonder now...
What’s left intact?
If time makes you forget, please don’t feel guilty or upset you are just a human after all.
There’s always some way to recall.
Watching her favorite movie or maybe just a moment in a song.

Cause every day in a lonely life
can make you doubt whether you’re living a pathetic lie.
So from this day until the day you die
you can't forget her smiling face that season of july.
And that’s more real than your breath,
the drops that fall over your chest,
the cold and empty space that used to be her side of the bed…

And start again.
Start again, my friend.
Start again.

You don’t
have to run and hide your tears from me.
Changing how you feel won’t make things heal,
please don’t be afraid, just wait and see.

Allow your grief.
You won’t have to hide it anymore.
Cause we love you and we always will.
Tell me isn’t that worth fighting for?

She would have loved you to succeed
So it lies in your hands,
choose well your fights or bleed.

And whatever your decision is:
You hold your head up high
and keep on walking until you see clear
that, from outside.
The house you’ve built together it appears to fade away
but that’s so far from being true, you can feel her inside of you,
you will remember all her laughter, all her perfumes and her youth...
