Cartitas de Amor

What things life has
that make my truths
turn into lies
what things a deception has
that make white black for you
and treat you like a stranger

Love letters
that have reached you
to your heart
that have filled you
with new hope
and have overwhelmed me
with anger and pain
signed with an I love you
each line speaks
of hope
and the sparkle in your eyes
alone give you away
waiting for the air
things that kill me

It's not that I suffer from jealousy
I suffer from love sickness
I don't ask Saint Anthony
I have no bad intentions
I don't wish for the devil
when new hopes bloom
to take charge of a punishment
when I lose, I'm a man
a man like any other
who with his loneliness feels it breaking
breaking into a million pieces
and pieces that give their name
to a puzzle that gives you the war
war of heartbreaks
I don't suffer from jealousy
I suffer from love sickness

She looks out the window
full of new hopes
as it shows on her face
a joyful spring
I'm not free from sin
I don't cast the first stone
and it could have happened
to the biggest Don Juan on Earth
look how it has touched me
mistreated by your war
d I, as a good vassal
who feels a place in your flag

Love letters
that have reached you
to your heart
that have filled you
with new hope
and have overwhelmed me
with anger and pain
signing an I love you
each line speaks
of hope and
the sparkle in your eyes
alone give you away
waiting for the air
things that kill me

I'm not a saint on Earth
but neither a man of sorrows
I'm not Mohammed who goes to the mountain
nor much less an ace of hearts
I'm not the end of Romeo and Juliet
I'm not the oblivion that kills hopes
I'm another fool who believed
that without your kisses, I was no longer a poor man..

What starts well ends badly
I believe there are loves that run on batteries
there's no defeat that has a greater victory
than a retreat and a clear conscience
put on the face you wear on Sundays
give goodnight to the one who sells the new day
be a good example of a person
who has lived with love, heartbreak, and hypocrisy
I'm not a saint on Earth...
