Querido Amor Imposible
Irene Jotadé
Dear Impossible Love
Dear impossible love
I don't know if you know I exist or that I'm dying for you
I don't want to be exaggerated
But if they asked me who I would like to share the plate and the bed with
I would surely say your name
There are impossible things, impossible people, and after all that, there's you
But hey, I would swear they told me that the impossible is by definition probable
And that if there's a chance, a half chance that it might happen
It's worth trying
I don't want to get my hopes up, I prefer to smile when they talk to me about you or when you approach with your daily joy
I think I'm gathering enough strength to confess to you
That if you want to be by my side, you won't regret it
I'm being brave and sincere
Because I know too many people have been hurt by lies to their face and truths behind their back
Dear impossible love
Maybe if you weren't so much, I would find it amusing to call you love
We will never be together
Because destiny, which I don't believe in
Has insisted on putting so many obstacles between us
That I don't even have the strength to break them
Although it could also be that you simply don't want me in your life
And that's why you're practically impossible
Because here on earth, I keep thinking of you
And you're heading nowhere looking for other lips
You remain unattainable to me
I ask you, because things happen for a reason
And if one day we happen to cross paths
Maybe it won't be as beautiful or good as I imagined
Dear impossible love
I like challenges and thorns
But I'm so changeable and dangerous
That you shouldn't come close
You so night and me so day
So close and yet so far away
And without knowing that one is crazy about the other
I would like to know what it feels like to have reached you
Because it's probable but hey
Maybe I prefer life to stay this way
Because if you came, which you never will
After you, only dark nights would come and no one at your level
So please, dear impossible love
Even if you don't know about me
I want to be brave and tell you that I like you
That I love you, that I want to be with you
And as quickly as I say this to you
I wish you stay where you are
So I can always look at you
And never lose you
