The Sea in a Room

Let's pretend that you had an uncommonly good intelligence
and you were a good electrician
Let's pretend that we were far from the tangential
and that I was a tennis player
Let's pretend that you were the prince
and I was Scheherazade and we spent
the thousand and one nights1
Let's pretend that you saved me from tigers and crocodiles, but
that you didn't forget the milk
Let's pretend that I never thought
of escaping
 
Let's pretend that we are
what we are
with the sea in a room
and us who love each other
and that we give each other
the best part of ourselves
of ourselves...
 
Let's pretend that I believe
that you're good at math
even if the bills don't get back to me
Let's pretend that I was
an exceptional cook and you
didn't throw the chicken to the cats,
that you never needed
the GPS but
you never missed the exit
Let's pretend that if we weren't
beach buddies2, you
wouldn't have ever found me
Let's pretend that I never thought of escaping
 
Let's pretend that we are
what we are
with the sea in a room
and us who love each other
and that we give each other
the best part of ourselves
of ourselves...

If I were a man

Versions: #2
If I were a man
I wouldn't forgive myself
These easy caresses
That hurt, you know
I'd never confuse my soul
Oh, if
 
If I were a man
I wouldn't defend myself
With so attentive gazes
Never telling
I'd never hide that I'm weak
Neither that I'm alone if
I were a man
 
I'd talk to myself like you don't do
I'd look at myself like you don't do
I'd hug myself like you do, more, more, more
 
If I were a man
I wouldn't fall asleep
Letting silence tell us about us
But I'd endlessly fill with thrills
This emptiness if
I were a man
 
I'd bring myself to where you don't fly anymore
I'd find stars that have fallen down
I'd hug myself like you do, more, more
More
 
I'd talk to myself like you don't do
I'd look at myself like you don't do
I'd hug myself like you do, more, more
More
 
If I were a man
I wouldn't cross habit deserts
To never understand
This love
I'd defend it, you know
Oh, if I were a man
