Kat

She only had one flower, and a thousand things in her heart
But I remained silent

I saw her at the CEPRE one ordinary afternoon
Short hair, white as spring
Tiny like me, but so immense
When I saw her smile, I lost my defenses

I wanted to tell her how I felt
I kept words for days and days
And when that February 14th arrived
I gave her a flower, but I kept quiet about what I love most

A flower and a silence
That was all I could give you
Because I knew you already had an owner
And I didn't come to take you away
I preferred to stay far away
Even if my chest hurt
Because love, is also respect

I didn't write you verses nor did I look for you anymore
Because I understood that there are loves that you have to let go of
I don't regret having loved you
Even if it was only, in my sigh

And now that time has flown by
I value your image
Sometimes loving, is also letting go
And not say what the soul wanted to say

A flower and a silence
That was all I could give you
Because I knew you already had an owner
And I didn't come to take you away
I preferred to stay far away
Even if my chest hurt
Because love, is also respect

Perhaps in another universe
I would have confessed to you
But in this one, I was honest
And I simply walked away, in love

A flower and my silence
Forever etched in my memory
