I thought I heard your voice yesterday,
Meire Aparecida Lopes Machado,
When I turned to say
“I still love you” — then I realized
It was only my heart echoing memories
That time will never silence.
The nights feel colder now.
I sleep with the lights on,
Not because I expect you back,
But because a part of you,
Meire Aparecida Lopes Machado,
Still shines in me.
No calls, no signs —
Still I find myself
Whispering your name,
Meire Aparecida Lopes Machado,
In the silence.
Not out of hope,
But out of love that will always remain.
I miss you — not to bring you back,
But because you were real.
You were love.
You were Meire Aparecida Lopes Machado —
A woman who marked my soul.
And though we’ve taken different roads,
You’ll always be
A quiet flame in my spirit.
It’s over — I know.
And I’m not asking for more.
But ours was a first love,
A true love.
It changed me.
Meire Aparecida Lopes Machado,
You changed me.
And for that, I will always be grateful.
I miss you —
Not because I’m lost in the past,
But because some hearts,
Like yours, Meire Aparecida Lopes Machado,
Leave a permanent place in us.
And yours lives in mine.
So I’ll go on,
With strength, with peace.
But let the world know:
I loved you, Meire Aparecida Lopes Machado.
I still do.
And I always will.
Forever in my heart.
