Si Vas a Enamorar a Un Poeta

She asked me to sing a cappella
She asked me to kiss her slowly
I played our song on the piano
I kissed her and time froze

She asked me to finally trust
To let go of my fears when we see each other
She asked me not to fall in love
I tried and I couldn't help it

I had barely realized
As always, it was just a story
For the heart, we were bandages
For the mind, only regrets

I only hope she forgives me one day
For arriving at her worst moment
She was only expecting some flowers
And me to see her bloom from within

I don't understand why it happens again
I open up to someone and then lose them
Is it that my heart burns?
Maybe no one wants to hold it

Maybe I'm too late, maybe I'm a plan B
Maybe I was just a pastime
Maybe you do want to stay
But I must warn you about that

If you're going to make a poet fall in love
You'll be the inspiration for his verses
You'll live forever in his words
You'll fill his notebook with color

You'll give him the most beautiful song
While the city still shivers asleep
You'll think he'll forget you one day
But it will never happen

If you're going to make a poet fall in love
Don't let him say: I love you
Don't ask him to promise it
Or he'll give you the most sincere love

You'll be the muse in his art, a distant longing
A doubt that was never spoken
Maybe he'll never dare to tell you
Maybe you'll never see each other again

If you're going to make a poet fall in love
You might have already done it
It happened without you even realizing
Counting his desires by the hundreds

The beauty lies in having scars
And choosing with an open heart
He never cared if you lied
If he loved you, he didn't want to break it

It hurts not knowing what you want
Maybe you'll condemn me to oblivion
I don't even know how much blame you have
Or how much belongs to fate

Either way, here I am
Thinking of you and writing to you
And if one day I fall in love
Always carry this with you

You know, from the first day I saw you, I knew you were different
I was enchanted, it was a special connection
I knew I would end up feeling such beautiful things for you
But not right now, I'm not at my best and you know it
I'm afraid of hurting you, of hurting myself
Maybe it's best to leave it here
Because if you fall in love, and I don't
We both will have lost
