Face to Face

I want to see your face,
When one beautiful day,
In the chances of this life,
Just by irony,
Life lets us,
Face to face again.

You will be marked,
For sure,
Because time doesn't forgive
And destroys beauty,
Time is what makes us,
All the same.

Then you will seek,
To see in my face,
What remains
Of my old sorrow,
Of all the things,
That you did to me.

And then,
In a blatant laugh,
I will tell you,
I have no past anymore,
I have completely forgotten,
Your love.

I want to see your white,
Disheveled hair,
Your saddened smile,
Fake and faded,
And your tired hands,
From so much fighting.

I want to see in your gaze,
A bit of madness,
And feel in your voice,
A bit of bitterness,
Remorse,
For what you did to me.

Perhaps,
I will then feel,
A bit of pity,
When I notice that happiness,
You did not have,
Life denied you.

I will laugh,
My mocking laugh,
When I find out
That everything went wrong,
That in the end,
I was your great love.

I want to see your face,
When I am sincere,
And tell you
That I still want you,
And tell you
That I laughed, to not cry.

And then,
Put the pieces of us together,
Kiss you
Passionately,
And be happy
For the first time.

And then,
Combine our sadness,
Kiss you
In a sweet and warm kiss,
And be happy
For the first time.

And then,
Combine what remains of us,
Kiss you
In a different way,
Make love
That we haven't made yet.
