Te doy las gracias

Tell me why your constant fantasy got me, I got used to your laughter
like the sea goes with its breeze
and I got used to your world like the sailor to the course,
like time to seconds, like the dog to the wanderer
Tell me what seduced me about your admirable comfort, I got used to your hair
like stars to their sky
and I got used to your image like the traveler to his journey,
like courage to valor, like a suitcase to luggage
And what will it be? this that despairs and entangles me,
that gives me hope and untangles me
that captures and dazzles me
that frees me and enlightens me

I thank you for being like this, you taught me to love you and to smile
you conquered my soul without boasting, you invented the art of not pretending
I thank you for turning my discouragement into a will to live
I lack words to describe this feeling of joy and sorrow when I think of you

Tell me how I overcame all my calvaries and got used to your lips,
like a date to the calendar, and I got used to your magic like the sad to nostalgia,
like school to childhood, like friendship and trust
And what will it be? this that goes and suffocates and destroys me
makes me float and builds me
that regrets me and makes me doubt
that pleases me and makes me trust

I thank you for being like this, you taught me to love you and to smile
you conquered my soul without boasting, you invented the art of not pretending
I thank you for turning my discouragement into a will to live
I lack words to describe this feeling of joy and sorrow when I think of you

It's that I have extra space and I'm reduced, and there are a thousand stars on the ceiling where I look
and I only think when I think I forget you and I only live when I forget you're gone

I thank you
