Pacto de Un Amor

Gloria and Pedro met at a party
Not knowing what destiny had in store for them
And yet this story, my dear friend
Speaks of forbidden love and sex
His love for her was greater
Than the fear of facing death
Of a love that had no end
They had sworn to love each other eternally
She embraced him, closing her eyes
Enjoying every moment of their existence
She kissed him, disregarding the contagion
Feeling her world destroyed without him
She cursed, feeling violated by her luck
He was tormented by the fear of death
He denied day by day being born
To be someone sentenced to death.

Yes, she knew how to heal his wounds
Only with her, he found comfort in his patience
He embraced her, seeking refuge in her arms
She loved him, regardless of his recklessness
They lived enraged in a merciless world
Both fighting against an indifferent world
Only their love, so great and resilient
Was their shield against the ghost of death
Neither prayers nor love nor patience
Could stop what was predestined
Physically consumed without mercy
He was his shadow, always living by his side
One night, like many they had lived
Their long existential struggle ended
He died in the arms of a woman who had given
Her love, her health, her whole life, and her patience.

In the morning, she kissed his mouth
In love, she told him what had happened
And realizing that her love was no longer alive
Drowning in tears, she screamed like a madwoman.
She spoke to no one, just walked
Through the places they had visited together
And she talked as if he were with her
She laughed senselessly
And she knew she was HIV positive
That her existence would slowly fade away
But she had completely lost her sense
She didn't care, her conscience was dead
One morning, they found her at his grave
Her hands were ruined from digging
She pulled out the decaying corpse of her love
And died in his arms, with her beloved
Life has its hidden secrets
But love is the greatest thing that has existed
Now their souls, love has merged them
From eternal sleep towards the unknown.

Love does exist, love doesn't lie, burning love,
Unconditional love, love hurts you, for love you die,
It's the pact of a love, love is happiness, love is life,
Love is death, it's the pact of a love, love with no end.
