Perhaps from a distance

my love is not strange to you;

this passion may be a punishment

and not even have the fortune to see you again

 

I look for you in my fingerprints

in indelible memories;

I discover that everything was a mistake

of bitter remembrances and misunderstandings

 

This long wait is a punishment that chokes me to death;

wishing to have you with me

 

I miss feeling you inside, deep inside my body 

and yet I am still haunted by the drizzle of your memories;

you are within my thoughts like fire but not here

 

As you were leaving,

I forgot to tell you,

how much I loved you...
