An April Fool

today I can write sad verses,
that you are no longer inside me, and that the night is long and the darkness hurts,
I can write how I wanted you, and how you slowly disappear in me,
I can write about the rough sea,
and for the lighthouse that shines dimly,
I can write that I never loved you
and that your absence is not a rock that breaks the heart,
from where the souls that flow love's blood are thrown,
I can also write about the fact that you just weren't mine,
and you will never be
but it would just be an April fool,
and I, a fool who never believed that I loved you.
but today I will write only a few verses,
the real ones, the one that I loved and still love you
I can write, that you being happy, is my greatest happiness,
Regarless spring with the flower blooming, brought too the great winter between us. This is how much I respect you.
