Letter to Carollina

I heard you're alone
And also heard you're trying to learn with the mistakes you've done in the past
At first, I suffered, but now I can handle this kind of pain
I'll feel better with the time

It was as if my pupils were dilated
And after a long time, they returned to the usual
I still can't see everything clear
But the sepia images are being colored gradually

An oil-painted picture, a small patch
An empty seat in the last train
Tears falling to the floor laden with feeling
Or just a random meeting in a winter morning

I'm glad I got all my books and clothes back
They don't have your scent anymore
After years and years and years bent at your feet
Now I lift up, I feel so much more strong

And I wish you could give a direction to your life now
'Cause I won't be present to make guesses
I still can't see everything clear
But the sepia images are being colored gradually
