When you have left
the shadows will envelop me,
when you have left,
with my pain, alone.
I will evoke the memory
of happy times
when you have left, my love, and
the shadows will envelop me.
And in the vague semi-darkness
of the small bedroom
where, in a tepid afternoon,
you caressed me so completely,
my hands will search for you,
my mouth will kiss you,
and I will breathe in the air
that scent of roses.
When you have left me,my love
the shadows will envelop me.
