the time I need to say goodbye

I always felt you most certainly didn't like me
Didn't love me
I held my breath many times when you were around
Trying to stop time, trying to keep those moments and those memories and those feelings
And those scents and the sound of your voice and laugh
And those times when your real laugh would fill the room 
I held my breath whenever I was looking at you and you didn't notice because you were so beautiful
So amazingly unaware of how you deserved so much and got so little 
-despite of how that broke us apart and pushed us away so much-
I held my breath when you would not want to wake up
And asked me for 5 more minutes
Five minutes that I could spend seeing your face 
Sleeping, in peace,
Next to me
I always thought you must not love me 
Until you actually did
And every previous doubt felt so stupid
Now I know what's like to not be loved by you, and it's crystal clear
I still think you should have made me know better
But now I that I get to see you not loving me 
Everything feels so big, and so small
And I need to say these words so I can take out everything
So I can actually get out all the pain and love and sadness and despair and hate and hopes 
And myself
The one I also say goodbye too 
I have to say goodbye too
The one that loved you, and would pick you every time 
Because you were bigger than the whole sky and you didn't know 
And I was chasing in vain.
As my breakup hero says
There will be happiness after you
But there was happiness because of you.
Let me say goodbye to this, and do nothing else
Because it feels like I need a whole life to do so

la bufanda

Portava la bufanda de la teva mare
I el collaret que em vaig fer per tu 
El dia que deixava aquest barri florit i màgic,
Per la ciutat, un pèl bruta i salobre,
Un pèl massa gran, i poc verda,
Però on segur no em perseguirien els teus fantasmes. 
Segurament si d'altres. 
Portava la bufanda de la teva mare i el teu collaret, quan et vaig trobar a l'estació 
El dia que deixava aquest barri on havíem començat, i abandonat la nostra història.
Hauria perdut el tren per tenir cinc minuts amb tu
Però últimament intento fer cas a la veu de la raó envers a tu
No li enviïs un missatge, si no estàs preparada per altres respostes,
No li proposis de quedar, quan sempre set farà massa curt,
No hi pensis de més, si no hi ha res que puguis fer
I no perdis el tren per estar cinc minuts amb ell, perquè ja no és el moment per fer-ho 
I per això em refugio en el silenci, que tot i més trist, és més segur
Portava la bufanda de la teva mare i el teu collaret, però tu això no ho saps
Ni t'ho podré dir
