Niña

Girl
Girl, don't judge without knowing,
I'm not what I seem and I can hurt you,
Girl, you're taking it seriously
and I'm not a sailboat sailing in freedom,
love arrives like that without warning
and you can't keep building castles,
in sand clouds,
making your story of false promises.
Girl, I can't deceive you, and before it happens
I'd rather fly and stay alone,
girl, angel face, naive and cheerful
you deserve so much, that for a while,
it's not worth crying
Girl, life doesn't end,
your laughter won't end for a while in loneliness
girl, loving is joy,
and you are poetry that shouldn't end
love is like this, you lose by betting,
and you can't keep building castles,
in sand clouds,
making your story of false promises.
Girl, I can't deceive you...
