When you return,
because I know you will,
I will no longer be here.
I will have left behind everything
we experienced, escaping
from that past I shared with you
that had become unbearably painful.
Having you near only rekindled the memory
of that story full of phrases of love,
of gestures laden with romanticism
and promises of “forever together”
that only tore apart a heart
that could barely beat anymore.
I chose the path of oblivion, lost
in a dense fog that confuses
my bitter reality with that fantasy
we once shared.
Leave me alone, don't try to find me or write to me.
I beg you, let me heal... give me that chance.
