Recuerdos

Do you remember how long ago, your eyes looked into mine,
Or more like how long it took, to realize that behind the voice,
That brought you to this door, to the edge of desire,
Lived the same ugly guy, who never caught your heart.

Do you remember you swore, you’d conquer the world,
That wrapped in your beauty, love was never out of reach,
That you knew perfectly well, you ruled my future,
And you laughed out loud, at people like me.

Do you remember that nothing inspired you,
What happened to your pegasus, that killed the dragon,
And do you remember my tears, almost turned into rain,
That your footsteps faded, pulling me closer to pain.

That after a bitter ritual, I sought a pact with the moon,
And even she turned her back on me, knowing it was a mistake,
And do you remember that in the middle, of my silences,
You told me that time, mends the heart,
And that no matter how much you kissed me, I’d never transform,
Into the charming prince, who deserved your love.

Do you remember that also, songs were born from you,
Like rehearsals from the mountains, that pointed out my pain,
That in the midst of silences, I almost convinced you,
Like a dark swallow, that never returned to the balcony.

And you remember that nothing inspired you,
What happened to your pegasus, that killed the dragon,
And do you remember my tears, always ended in rain,
That your footsteps faded, pulling me closer to pain.

That after a bitter ritual, I sought a pact with the moon,
And even she turned her back on me, knowing it was a mistake,
And do you remember that in the middle, of my silences,
You told me that time, mends the heart.

And now that you’ve convinced yourself, that you don’t remember anything,
That you paid to hear me, not to give me a reason,
Today I learned that your life, became sad and complicated,
That you didn’t conquer the world, and beauty has aged.

Today there’s no way to turn against time,
Even if your tears are real, this forgiveness is unnecessary,
Today in your loneliness, your worst enemy is desire,
To get tangled up with the ugly guy, for whom you never felt love.

And do you remember my tears, always ended in rain,
That your footsteps faded, pulling me closer to pain.
