Você Esperaria Alguém Por Anos, Só Por Amor?

There were so many sleepless nights
Counting the hours as if measuring one's own pain
The walls heard my silence
More than any friend could bear
I learned to walk without rushing
Because rushing wouldn't bring you back
I kept your name tucked away in a corner of my memory
So that time would not erase it

And even when I tried to forget
It was the world that reminded me
In the music that played by chance
In the scent of rain that felt like your embrace

Perhaps it's madness
Or just too much love
But with each passing day
It reminds me that you still live here
Even without knowing

Would you wait for someone for years, just for love?
I waited even when they said it was a waste of time
I saw the seasons repeating themselves
Cities are changing their face
But you
It has always held the same place in my heart

I saw friends leave
I've seen stories begin and end
And yet I remained stuck on the same page
It's not that I don't know how to follow
It's like going on without you
It feels like walking without solid ground

How many times have I asked myself this?
If you thought about me even a little bit
How many times have I made up answers?
So as not to feel the weight of silence

Perhaps it's destiny
Or just my inability to let go
But every path I chose
It always took me back to the same place

Would you wait for someone for years, just for love?
I waited even knowing it might not have a happy ending
And while time was stealing my youth
I kept you as one keeps a secret
It hurts, but it's the only true thing that's left

If I'm being honest
It's not just love
It's obsession, it's fear
It's the feeling that if I let you go
I will also lose the only version of myself
Who still believes in something?
I hated you so many times
For leaving me here alone
But the truth is, I hate you because I still love you
And to love someone who's already gone
It's the cruelest way to die inside
That someone can choose

Would you wait for someone for years, just for love?
I expected it to cost me dearly
And today, if you came back
I don't know if it would be meant to stay
But I know that, however much it hurts
I would still open the door

Because I love you
It was the only thing that kept me alive
Even though it killed me slowly
