Un Recuerdo En El Olvido
Paula Rojo
A Memory in Oblivion
That summer breeze
Always hid some romance, a dream
A way to learn through suffering
Because we always prefer the impossible
Out of reach, the dreams
I wanted to ask you
If it was possible to reach the dream
Of falling asleep next to you, flying high
Let the sky wait for us
And for you to tell me you love me, whispering
But I couldn't
I didn't have the strength
I was left speechless thinking
That you could laugh at my inexperience
At my pain
There were few witnesses
I curse the two words
That turned our story
Into a memory in oblivion
I was turning 18 and wearing a new dress
I wasn't sure if you had already left
I searched among your friends, but I couldn't find you
And someone came close, their breath smelled like you
The perfume and that accent that made me smile
You asked me to dance, and like a fool, I gave in
And I couldn't
I didn't have the strength
I was left speechless thinking
That you could laugh at my inexperience
At my pain
There were few witnesses
I curse the two words
That turned our story
Into a memory in oblivion
Three summers later, we met again
Everything had changed
I want to learn through love
I wanted to tell him it was too late
That five kisses don't make up for so much hurt
But I couldn't, I didn't have the strength
I wanted to let it go and smile and dance
With him the last song
Of my pain, he was never a witness
That's why, among other things
This story is nothing more
Than a memory in oblivion
