Amar

The song "Amar" by Donovan Morales is a poignant reflection on unrequited love and the complex emotions that come with it. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and frustration, as the narrator grapples with feelings for someone who sees them only as a friend. The coldness of the night mentioned in the opening line metaphorically represents the emotional void the narrator feels in the absence of mutual affection. The desire to be more than friends is evident, yet there's a recognition of an unbridgeable gap between what is and what could be.

The chorus of the song introduces the concept of love as something that should be beautiful ('debería ser bonito'), but for the narrator, it has become an obsession ('un vicio') that is difficult to comprehend. This highlights the often-idealized notion of love and the harsh reality of when it doesn't play out as one might hope. The act of counting the days since the object of affection has left serves as a testament to the depth of the narrator's feelings, despite the futility of the situation.

Morales' lyrics also touch on the small intimacies that make the connection feel significant, such as sharing favorite music. These details add a layer of personal attachment and the unique pain that comes from knowing someone deeply, yet not being able to progress the relationship beyond platonic boundaries. The repeated line 'Que gusto en verdad haberte conocido' (Glad to have truly met you) is both an acknowledgment of the joy that person brought into the narrator's life and a lament for the love that remains unfulfilled.
