Friend
Friend, don't hate me yet,
You already knew this could happen someday.
Friend, I've tried openly,
And you see, I wasn't lucky,
I can't stop loving her.
Friend, I haven't forgotten the promises,
Nor the faith with which on my lips,
You poured out nakedness.
Forgive me for the fear of dressing you in words,
And all the light I stole from your early mornings,
Forgive me for not being able to come back to you,
Forgive me for the pain of being happy.
Friend, I haven't learned yet,
To swallow lies to find peace,
Friend, I thought your silence,
Was the full horizon where the sea ended.
Friend, I never wanted to hurt you,
You're not part of a deception,
I also want to cry.
Forgive me for the fear of dressing you in words,
And all the light I stole from your early mornings,
Forgive me for not being able to come back to you,
Forgive me for the pain of being happy.
Forgive me for the sadness in your gaze,
But I couldn't split my soul in two,
Forgive me for bringing you loneliness,
But I can't conceive of lying to you once more.
And if the pain is too much to bear,
Please don't visit me, because it may happen,
That to avoid seeing you cry, my heart breaks,
To lie to you, that I love you more than her.
Now that you understand,
That can't be true,
No, no, no, no, no, no,
No, it can't be true, no,
Friend.
