Leave on this table the photo that I liked
So I can think that your smile aged with me
Let me have your hand one more time in mine
So I can photograph my true shelter

Leave the room light on, the door ajar
The crumpled sheet, even if it's empty
Leave the towel on the table and the food ready
Just don't touch my voice, I'll silence it myself

Let the heart say what I once silenced
Leave the house quiet, thinking it's still early
Let our love die without grace or poetry
Leave everything as it is, and if possible, without fear

Leave everything that reminds me, I'll pretend to forget
Leave and when you don't come back, I'll pretend it doesn't matter
Let me see if I remember a catchy phrase
To say watching you go, closing the door behind you

Leave what's not urgent, I still need it
Leave my sick gaze resting on the table
Leave your address there, I'll notify you of anything
Leave what you pretended to take but left as a surprise

Let me cry as I never could with you
Let me face insomnia like a grown-up
Let me pretend at least once that I can
If the goodbye takes too long, the pain in the heart expands

Leave the record on the turntable so I can think it's a party
Leave the drawer locked so I don't see your absence
Leave my insanity, it's all I have left
Let me test all my resistance

Let me confess my fear of light and dark
Let me tell you that my calm voice was a farce
Leave the faded denim pants hanging
That, like our love, sways with the slightest wind

Let me dream that you're not in a hurry
Leave a last message at the neighbor's house
Enough with sophistry, let's get to the point
The pain I caused you is now all mine

Leave everything I didn't say but you knew
Leave what you kept silent and I needed so much
Leave what was nonexistent and I thought existed
Leave everything I asked for but thought I could give
