I hope I can heal from you

Original author: Jaime Sabines

I hope I can heal from you in a few days
I must stop smoking you, drinking you, thinking you. It's possible following the prescriptions of the moral in turn
I prescribe myself time, abstinence, solitude.

Is it fine if I love you for only one week?
It is not too much, not too little, it is enough.
In one week it is possible to gather all the words of love that have been pronounced on Earth and set them on fire.
I am going to warm you up with this burnt love bonfire.
And also silence. Because the best words of love are between two people who do not say anything to each other.

We got to burn that other lateral and subversive language of the one who loves. (You know how I say that I love you when I say " it's too hot", "give me some water", "can you drive?", "it's getting dark".
Among people, beside your people and mine
I have said to you, "it's late." and you knew I was saying "I love you").

One more week to gather all the love of time.
To give it to you. For you to do with it as you please.
Keep it, caress it, throw it to the garbage.
It's useless, that's true. I just want one week to understand things.
Because this is pretty much like leaving a madhouse to enter a graveyard.
