From me to you — a quiet good-bye:
There is no time for anything else;
You know me, and you know that I can’t
Make speeches, loud but forgettable;
/
I’ve talked to you for months now and months:
Roaming your streets, taking in your nights,
Getting soaked in your rains, letting in your cold,
Making your time, your rhythm, your prayers – mine;
/
From me to you – a small good-bye smile;
I have no strength for anything else;
I have been so alive here, I’m tired
Of the joys and pains you’ve showered me with;
/
I leave you to be somebody else;
I’ll keep you in my heart as you are;
I thank and bless you millions of times,
And hope that this, in spite of all, is not a good-bye
