Nuestros Nombres

On the sand, I carved your name
And a gentle breeze swept it away
The beach remained calm and cold
In the dark night under the veil
Years later in its memory
My name also disappeared
Like the beach, like the night
My heart stayed calm

I carved her name in the snow
And as the radiant sun rose
Letter by letter, drop by drop
Like it was crying, it dissolved
When her forgetfulness wounded my soul
I wanted to erase my burning love
And yet, when I say her name
My heart silently weeps
