Friend
I know some think it's crazy
that I treat you with tenderness
without seeking something more.
And it's because a heart, if it's broken
looks for narrower paths
to share and love.
Who could be a child or your true brother
and say that I'm your friend without you taking offense.
Friend, with sincerity
without asking for more than you can give me;
truly, it can be achieved
to be like that wind that refreshes our walk,
and if there's a path, let it be made just by walking.
In your heart, you held doubts
about your dreams and my tenderness and what might happen.
A mix of innocence and care
and that fear of the past
made you see me with coldness.
Leave behind, sister friend
what once hurt you
I promise to do the same
so we can sing together.
Friend, with sincerity
without asking for more than you can give me;
truly, it can be achieved
to be like that wind that refreshes our walk,
and if there's a path, let it be made just by walking.
...without asking for more than you can give me.
