While The Rain Passes

While I forget you

The rain falls through the window

I feel the sound of silence and I miss you

In the light afternoon breeze

While I forget you

Life passes without hummingbirds

Without landscapes or directions

Without moonlight, or any reason

While I forget you

I remember our love

Coloring the warm afternoons in rio

With the tints of our lightness

Our smiles and certainties of my steps on your footsteps

I remember our arm-kisses, our leg-hugs

In our eternal hours

But then, I wipe off the pain of the moment

From loving comes the soothing

And from tears I come to laughter

And inside of me I lift a toast to love

Not the one that what had been silenced

But the one that still sings

While the rain passes

While I forget you

Time runs down without any joy

I see absences, emptiness, vanities

In the hearts of the city

While I forget you

Are your poems necessary?

Which countries, which landscapes

Can numb your pain

While I forget you

I remember our love

Coloring the warm afternoons in rio

With the tints of our lightness, our smiles

And certainties of my steps on your footsteps

I remember our arm-kisses, our leg-hugs

In our eternal hours

And then, I wipe off the pain of the moment

From loving comes the soothing

And from tears I come to laughter

And inside of me I lift a toast to love

Not the one that what had been silenced

But the one that sings

While the rain passes…
