Everytime I walked alone
in that city
just to feel the heat
just to feel the breath
There was that time
you didn’t want to go out
I came home completely drunk
and you embrace me anyway.
There was that time
I had to say goodbye
and I came home completely broken
without embrace anyway
There was that time
that for coming home
I had to go, but you were still there
waiting, open arms.
There was the last time
when you said goodbye to me
and I walked through it
for the last embrace
Everytime I walked alone
in that city
past the walls, and the crosses
just to feel the heat,
just to feel the breath,
and the breath of the city embraced me.
