Desagravio

Fate, always on alert,
finally knocked on my door to collect my mistake...
I was guilty of making you suffer so much,
guilty of your tears,
guilty of your love.
My twenty years didn’t know
what a dream is worth...
and, cowardly, my treacherous step
behind another path
one day drifted away.

And today, I’ve come back so changed
that, through tears, your eyes
look at me in shock...
I wanted to cling to your forgiveness, and my heart
felt your heart... frozen.
See... life teaches us to understand,
you see... time has avenged you without meaning to.
And, in the end, shattered
our yesterday dies in our arms...

Memories hurt us so much
maybe because the years
intensify the emotion.
In your case, for all you’ve suffered,
and in mine, for what’s lost
after that mistake.
We have no other bond
than the shadow of this love...
But the pain trembles on my lips,
in giving you redemption, my heart gives you.
