My friend, I know, you only live for him,
he knows it too, but he doesn’t see you
like I do, begging my mouth to say
that he’s confessed to me over drinks
that it’s your skin
he dreams of
at night
and you go crazy with every button
that you unbutton,
thinking of his hands.

He hasn’t seen you tremble, waiting
for a word, some gesture,
a hug.
He doesn’t see you like I do, sighing,
with your little eyes wide open,
hearing me say his name.
Oh, my friend! I know, and he does too.

My friend, I don’t know what to say,
nor what to do to make you happy.
I wish I could command the soul
or freedom,
that’s what he’s missing,
fill your pockets
with won battles,
with renewed dreams and hopes.
I want to gift you a poem;
you think I’m just
breaking the news.

My friend, I hope one day
while listening to my song, suddenly,
you understand that what I never wanted
was to tell your story
because it might come off as touching.
But, forgive me, my friend,
it’s not intelligence or wisdom;
this is my way of saying things.
It’s not that it’s my job,
it’s just my language.

My friend, princess of an endless tale.
My friend, I just intend
for you to count on me.
My friend, let’s see if one of these days,
I finally learn to speak
without going around in circles,
that this whole story matters to me
because you’re my friend.
