This old courtyard that
That reminds me of something
A motorbike that drives by
_____
Like a thought in a rush
_____
If you were still here with me
I think back to your story
And leave lumps in my throat
_____
If it comforts you, stay here, the smells don't change
_____
At most the stores, the owners
_____
And for a bunch of reasons
I didn't understand your examples
_____
The frequent problems there were back in your day
_____
Pain is a lesson I learned through love
_____
Lucky whoever enjoys it, whoever's heart has its keeper
_____
In the upper right pocket
_____
In a tired step, inside a high jump
_____
Or in a meeting with my destiny
_____
I keep a photo of you in the right jacket pocket
_____
I'd have gone crazy if I'd ever lost it
_____
Even if it's just an image in a piece of clothing
_____
I sense I'll have you and I feel more protected
_____
I keep what you told me, all your advice
_____
And I speak after thinking, I'll tell my kids
_____
Not to look for a hold and never give up
_____
But I won't manage to say how much love you'll feel for them and
_____
In the upper right pocket
_____
In a tired step, inside a high jump
_____
In an unexpected smile
_____
Or in a meeting with my destiny
_____
I, who so often get lost
Look for one of your gestures
_____
Something you can neither see nor hear
_____
I can't perceive it and it'll protect me forever but
_____
Certain decisions I can't make
_____
Since you can't come down and I can't choose
_____
To be with you the way I picture
_____
You made me grow in an instant
Take care to keep shining
_____
In the upper right pocket
_____
In a tired step, inside a high jump
_____
Or in a meeting with my destiny
