I have learned to sing
and to play the violin,
a violin like your body,
time has stopped,
the strings have vibrated,
and my soul
crushing the tears
of the first fallen drop.
I have interrupted the flow
of the song that had just begun,
to wait for you
then,
I have asked you to stay
but it started to rain,
I’m dreaming, I thought,
and saw you
dressed in the rain.
