Cuantos Cuentos Cuento

The years that pass weigh on me
It weighs on my soul
And put it at your feet
If by kissing me you gave me life
By leaving, you took my being

I spent so much time trying
To pretend to be dumber
Forgetting yesterday
That the love of my life is a pact
He loves me and I treat him well

But sometimes he catches me
Organizing twenty times
The books, the cups, the letters, the bedroom
And he suspects with fear what is in this stanza

And he doesn't know how many tales I tell to disguise
(To disguise)

And if I remember you, I spend hours singing
My life happens and the days give way
To the voice punished without vote for years now
Of my heart tired of shouting

Although I said the day you arrived
Today I wear out my mouth asking for forgiveness
For the times I try to kiss you
While I kiss the one who is now my love

And damn you, ghosts
You play with an advantage, you hurt for real
Although later you dress in lies
And that's why I can't catch you

But sometimes if no one is looking
Closing my eyes, I blow a kiss into the air
And then I sigh and slowly imagine
That wherever you are, my love
It lands on your lips and you think a little of me

And if I remember you, I spend hours singing
My life happens and the days give way
To the voice punished without vote for years now
Of my heart tired of shouting

And sometimes I can't help but let them fly away
My thousand butterflies that dream of you daily
My indulgence opens the cell and they kiss you crying
If they promise to return in seconds
To reality
