A Nadie
Liliana Felipe
To Nobody
What is love
A distant cousin of pain
That neither you nor I experienced
That has not known, nor wanted, nor been able to
That's why you're not with me
Because we don't know each other
And we don't love each other
Because I've never looked at you
Nor wake up by your side
Because I don't know if you like
Milanesas like I do
Because I don't know where you live
Or how you season them
Because you may lack
Antagonistic enthusiasm
Because you may have too much
Moralizing and be a conservative
What is love
A distant cousin of pain
That neither you nor I experienced
That has not known, nor wanted, nor been able to
That's why you're not with me
Because we didn't meet
And in the time we lost
Each one lived their part
But each one separately
Because what has never ignited
Cannot be extinguished
Because what has never rotted
Cannot be healthy
Because you would never understand
My tiredness, my quirks
Because you didn't care
If I fell into the abyss
This love you despised
Because you never looked for me
Where I wouldn't have been
Or wouldn't have fallen in love
What is love
A distant cousin of pain
That neither you nor I experienced
That has not known, nor wanted, nor been able to
That's why you're not with me
That's why I'm not with you
