"Between sips"
I watch you in the morning
while I drink my coffee, slowly, sip by sip.
As you get ready to leave
I ask myself while holding my cup tightly:
How did you let me love you so much
while all the time
you were quietly just going along?
How did we make such a mess of our lives?
Chastising ourselves in this house!
Faking our closeness day after day.
Being each other's pet.
Watching our expenses,
watching our savings.
Watching ourselves.
Go away! Dare to do so and don't tell me when.
I promise I will not go looking for you.
Even if I cry until my soul is cleansed and at peace,
until I feel new or dead.
I will not go looking for you.
I do not dare to do it in order not to make you suffer,
in order not to create total chaos.
It is because I don't know how to live without you
or just that I don't know how to live.
But, no, no, do not come near me! Once again,
you come over to kiss me goodbye?
Now I feel the touch of your lips on mine.
Once again, your perfume. Once again,
I stay, we stay. We keep on trying.
Goodbye, love, be well.
One more day, the same.
While I sip my coffee,
I wonder.
