Your smile in these pictures made me so happy.
Now it's just digging a deeper hole in my heart.
I can't forget you or just move on,
When you've already erased me from your memories.
You walked away without me even realizing it.
If you knew how I suffer,
How I would like to shout to the whole world how much I love you and I want you to stay close to me,
To feel your breath...
But you left.
Now I must forget about you.
The pain is far too great
So, with my fingertips,
I hold all these pictures of us,
Together and happy,
All that still connects me to you.
I light this flame.
My trembling hand approaches.
The corner of the first photo begins to slowly burn.
The fire spreads slowly over the others...
I watch with my eyes misted with tears
This spectacle of dancing flames.
A melancholy farewell dance,
Where I see myself in your arms.
