O Grande Amor da Minha Vida

We lived and grew up on the same street
Like the Sun and the Moon
Sharing the same sky

I saw her bloom, be desired
A coveted jewel
The most beautiful trophy

I was her guardian, I was her angel friend
But I didn’t know that with me
She carried a passion

I saw her snuggle up in other arms
And I left counting the steps
Feeling so alone

In my body, the bitter taste of jealousy
When we don’t own up
We end up crying, without affection

Time passed and I suffered in silence
I couldn’t get her out of my mind
I was going to say I was in love
Then I got the invite to her wedding

With golden letters, on pretty paper
I cried with emotion when I finished reading
In a corner, scribbled on the back
She said: My love, I confess
I’m getting married, but the great love
Of my life is you
