Although I don't want to, I see myself moving away
And so you don't forget that I had you
I'll leave you a message in the mirror
And the postscript, drawn on a cloud
Last night the demons followed me
And I didn't want to bring them to your door
As the sun rose, I managed to outwit their hatred
And I'm not leaving until I see you awake
I'll be a whisper when you wake up
Shadow barely on the cold moon
Two words you will see only for an instant
But without a doubt, you will know that they were mine
Sorry I didn't contain myself
And that you have violated these thresholds
To leave you breathless
For feelings, that I swore immortal to you

This beautiful song by Cuban singer-songwriter Silvio Rodriguez is about a reluctant departure. The singer knows he's drifting away, even though he doesn't want to: "Aunque no quiero, veo que me alejo" [Although I don't want to, I see that I'm drifting away].

He leaves a message on the mirror and a postscript drawn in a cloud so his love won't forget him. He was followed by demons last night and didn't want to bring them to her door. He escaped them at sunrise and won't leave until she wakes up. He'll be a whisper and a shadow, leaving just two words that she'll know are his, a fading breath of immortal feelings he swore to her.
