To Justin
Come here good friend
And slowly tilt your head
rest it on my lap for as long as you want .
I was not aware that you were so sad
And I wish you have told me how tiring it was
To force shine ,in the darkness of your eyes.
To plant a fake smile each time ,
just so nobody feels bad .
From the Last time when we met,
some things give me sorrow .
Not been able to reciprocate your feelings
is the one that I most regret .
But I didn’t want to lie,
not to you my sweet guy .
So , I left your car so abruptly .
Was I wrong ?
Now , when time has no more hours for us to borrow ,
I wait for the moment when with the flickering of a flame you tell me not to worry .
You were sent to save me once , remember ?
And we both failed to protect me
and when I reminded you
we both laughed so hard .
Great people sometimes leave prematurely
wounded in their soul ,
they manage to walk straight
so nobody sees the pain caused by each step .
I light a white candle for you ,
I save my tears for my room .
Just come to me in my dreams , lie down right next to my soul.
I’ll run my fingers through your hair
and properly say good night .
We will both lament what was not fair .
and I might hopefully walk you towards the light.
