Si Lo Hubiera Sabido

everything failed
because of so much pride and vanity
those years you and I
my big plans for you
I had them saved but in the end
you always said goodbye

sometimes I stop to think
for what reason did God allow
that I loved you like this
with that strength and that love
that only felt for you
my poor heart

if I had known
that one day you would leave me
in oblivion
I would have never persuaded myself
to your affection
how bad it went with you
if I had known
how difficult for me
your forgetfulness would be
I would have set aside
my silly machismo
I would have stopped

sometimes I stop to think...
