MATTEO LORENZO: A FAREWELL

Jiji Moore

Hey, do you still remember me?

How are you? I hope you’re happy.
How could you left me without a single sigh.
Now, I’m inside a dark room, alone and about to die.

I’ve been feeling blue since the day you left.

I’ve been praying each night to see you before my death.
At first, I thought it was “me” and “you”.
Later, I’ve realized it was “her” that makes you feel brand new.

And now, maybe it’s time for me. . .

It’s time for to end this story.
It’s time for me to let you go.
Be with your real happiness, that’s all I know.

It wasn’t me that makes you glow.

It wasn’t me that makes you dream about tomorrow.
No matter how hard I try.
I can do nothing but silently sit and cry.

Now, I am setting you free.

It was “her” that you need, not “me”.
You’re my sweetest “hello” and my painful “good-bye”. Don’t believe that I don’t love you, it’s all a lie.

Don’t you worry; I’ll never interrupt you again.

I saw my worth now, that lately I haven’t seen.
Even without you, I will start again.
Even without you, I know I can begin.

I know maybe we’ll meet somewhere.

But please, never ever greet me even show any care.
You know that I will love you again and again.
Just like how you’ve hurt me from the beginning till the end.

Now tell me.

Do you still remember me?
I’m dark-skinned and ugly.
I’m poor but always happy.

Hey, let me tell this to you.

This might be a farewell and I’m feeling blue.
Always remember that my love will always be true.
I just need to say good-bye because it’s my way of saying “I love you”.
