if the love leaves/si el amor ce vas is a duet about an immediate aftermath. Two strangers happen upon each other in the same stage of shock. Feeling mutual camaraderie, they explore how to deal with loss through consolation, grief, intimacy, and offerings that they give to the other, and personally inflict upon themselves. if the love leaves/si el amor se va, asks how do you heal when the present is passing, how far you are willing to go to make it back to yourself, and if it is even possible.
