na última vez que te escrevo

nos últimos dias consegui dizer-te repetidamente o quanto te amava. que tinhas os olhos verdes mais bonitos do mundo. que admirava a tua força. que acreditava na tua vontade. que queria ser como tu quando crescesse. que podias partir.
pedia-te para me sorrires mas só raramente o fazias quando me vias chegar. em troca, contava-te histórias num ritmo cadenciado que acompanhava a tua respiração. deitada ao teu lado, as costas das minhas mãos colavam-se ao rosto que já não era teu. dizia-te que podias partir, mas não te podia largar.
por fim, os teus olhos verdes não seguiram o meu olhar contido. não vi a despedida. voltei a dizer que gostava muito de ti. gosto muito de ti. foste tanto.
e agora fico assim. relutante em chorar a tua morte porque serás sempre a pessoa com mais vida que conheço.

it's been a long time, long time

Well it's been a long time, long time now

since I've seen you smile

and I'll gamble away my fright

and I'll gamble away my time

and in a year, a year or so

this will slip into the sea

well it's been a long time, long time now

since I've seen you smile

nobody raise their voices

just another night to mourn to

nobody raise their voices

just another night to mourn to

i'll get by with a little breath from my friends

Between two lungs it was released

The breath that carried me

The sigh that blew me forward

Because it was trapped

Trapped between two lungs

It was trapped between two lungs

It was trapped between two lungs

And my running feet could fly

Each breath screaming

"We are all too young to die!"

Between two lungs it was released

The breath that passed from you to me

That flew between us as we slept

That slipped from your mouth into mine

It crept between two lungs

It was released

The breath that passed from you to me

That flew between us as we slept

That slipped from your mouth into mine

It crept

Because it was trapped

Tapped between two lungs

It was trapped between two lungs

Now all the days of begging

The days of theft

No more gasping for a breath

The air has filled me head-to-toe

And I can see the ground far below

I have this breath and I hold it tight

And I keep it in my chest with all my might

I pray to god this breath will last

As it pushes past my lips

As I...

Between two lungs it was released

The breath that passed from you to me
