No Quiero Ser
Ginette Acevedo
I Don't Want to Be
I don't want to be an obstacle in your life
I don't want to be the reason for your tears
I can't forget you
I dream of your eyes
Your mouth, your hair
And every minute
That I'm not with you
I think I'm going crazy
I feel here on my face
The warm breath
Of your soft breath
And I feel in my hands
All the smoothness
That your body gives me
And no matter how hard I try
In vain attempts
To leave you far away
Something tells me
Not to insist
That you are deep inside
And I despair
And I fight and I strive
Not to go to your arms
Because when I do
I will be your ruin
And I don't want to be
I can't forget you
I dream of your eyes
Your mouth, your hair
And every minute
That I'm not with you
I think I'm going crazy
I feel here on my face
The warm breath
Of your soft breath
And I feel in my hands
All the smoothness
That your body gives me
And no matter how hard I try
In vain attempts
To leave you far away
Something tells me
Not to insist
That you are deep inside
And I despair
And I fight and I strive
Not to go to your arms
Because when I do
I will be your ruin
And I don't want to be
And I don't want to be
