Una Bonita Carta De Adiós

I've been quiet for a while and I’m sorry
I don’t really know what to write to you
Just thinking about you leaving, it’s a sentence
But it’s better than giving up

This paper represents that day
When you crossed into my life
Cruel, unpredictable, and wild
I swear I loved you, I really did

And finally, I get it
Maybe it’s time
To know that in losing, I’d gain

I want to start by saying
That sometimes, out of fear, I don’t know what to say to you
There were a hundred half-truths left over
What was missing was the heart, the courage, and the guts

And I’m sorry
I hate to tell you
That more than the pain, we were left with the baggage

So many memories aren’t that much
Don’t insist on the melody
Always, maybe, and now I’m coming, you’ll see
Cousin, brother of the lie

And finally, I get it
Maybe it’s time
To know that in losing, I’d gain

I want to say that I understand
More than shouting, that silence killed us
It was a long time, almost perfect
It was so much more than a beautiful memory

And I’m sorry
Just like it’s not good to live forgetting
It’s also not good to live waiting

I want to say that I’m sorry
More than words, more than a moment
Just a moment, it was almost eternal
More than your beautiful disdain

I want to say that I’m sorry
More than saying, I’m writing it down
Just like it’s not good to hold onto feelings
It’s also not good to live in regrets
