Tan Cerca y Tan Lejos
Alvaro Torres
So Close and Yet So Far
I don't want to, and yet lately
I only think of you
close my eyes and see you,
hear your voice in the silence,
I know love is lurking around here.
And I feel, there will be nothing to free me
from suffering for you
it's an unattainable love
that I came to fall in love with
I think this time the worst part
falls on me.
And I will have to settle
for having you in my imagination
being so close to you,
so far from your heart.
Silently I will love you
even if you don't give me a reason
and the feeling in me
will be a secret between you and me.
And I will have to settle
for having you in my imagination.
I wish, as if by magic, to be a reason
for your illusion
and that kiss on the cheek
would be on your mouth, my friend
and infect you in a hug
with this love.
