We say beautiful things,

incorruptible and perfect,

we relate them to the verbs

miss and wish

without thinking once or twice,

we do not stop to ponder

that maybe it was correct

in not loving what adored him 

as if he was the sun and stars,

that was kind in not kissing the lips that begged him

because he was not the love that would open the doors

of my words and my desires,

he would not be the one who would destroy me and create me.

Maybe he was just a rung on a ladder to the right one

and that's why it's okay, let him forget my name

my scent

and my love for him

because if it was nothing to him,

I do not want my love to be everything when it’s too late.
