Invece No

Maybe it was enough to breathe
Just breathe a little
Until recovering with each beat
And not look for the moment
To leave
Don't leave

Because it can't be a habit
December without you
Who stays here
Hopes for the impossible

Instead no
There's no more time to explain
To ask if I had given you love
I am here
And I still have things to say
Still

Because the most important things
Break between our teeth
Those words we never dare
And I dive into the pain
To make them resurface and bring them back here
One by one here

Do you hear them?
They weigh and settle
Forever on us
And if you're missing
I don't know how to repeat them
And I can't say them anymore

Instead no
Here memories rain down
And I would do more
Than admitting it's late
How I wish I could talk
Again and again

Instead no, I don't have
More time to explain
That I too
Had something to hope for
In front of me
Something to finish together with you

Maybe just breathing is enough
Just breathing a little
Maybe it's late
Maybe instead no
