Volvere

I was covering your exits from school
while I wanted to go from your accomplice to your seducer
my friendship has been my worst enemy
when you smiled at me, I was further from your love

I'm tired of not being the one you cry for
or the clock for your hours
just a spectator in your story
there's no worse sin than not having tried
than staying silent
waiting for a Cupid that never showed up

I'll be back when you’re not my friend
I'll be back when you’re confused
I'll be back when you’re not in a hurry
when destiny blinds you
and you see me like I see you with my heart in my eyes

if you ask why I’ve gone so far
you haven’t even seen the mirror of my sudden decision
I can’t keep pretending to be sane
when I’m dying of madness
if you get too close, my love

I love your rush to cross the street
and your endless habit of laughing at my inspiration
I’m the Cyrano who dictated verses to your lovers at the window
the Romeo who never climbed your balcony

I'll be back when you’re not my friend
I'll be back when you’re confused
I'll be back when you’re not in a hurry
when destiny blinds you
and you see me like I see you with my heart in my eyes
in my eyes
in my eyes
in my eyes
