Un Amor de Verdad

It doesn't have to hurt
It doesn't have to harm you
It doesn't have to make you stop being yourself
Nor to abandon you

You don't have to lose
To please your north
Nor give up on letting your light shine brightly
Nor burn your passport

Don't settle for less, everything is possible
For the universe, you are essential

A true love doesn't leave or fade away
It doesn't make you doubt and never sinks
It doesn't cloud your senses, but it intoxicates you
It's the wind that blows beneath your wings

A true love doesn't ask for you back
Nor keeps track of who gives more than necessary
It's the safest place in a storm
A true love is not for sale

And if it comes to an end
Well, in the end, it wasn't love, nor was it true

We were told that sacrifices must always be made
That after purgatory, paradise comes
And that leads us to stay where harm is done
Where old lovers become strangers

Enough of victims and melodramas
That only with friction does the flame ignite
A true love is strength and fuel
It withstands all, it's indestructible

It's more than a certainty and never leaves you
You don't even know why or how it works
It's carried inside, in the deepest part
And you feel like you're on top of the world

I don't know if it's found once in a lifetime
I just know it cleanses you and heals the wounds
It doesn't want to change you, it makes you a better person
It lifts you from the ground and doesn't imprison you

Don't settle for less, everything is possible
For the universe, you are essential

A true love doesn't leave or fade away
It doesn't make you doubt, and never sinks
It doesn't cloud your senses, but it intoxicates you
It's the wind that blows beneath your wings

A true love doesn't ask for you back
Nor keeps track of who gives more than necessary
It's the safest place in a storm
A true love is not for sale

A true love is not a prison, nor a sentence
It always gives freedom and never holds you back
It's like a spring of clear and serene water
It's walking barefoot on the sand

A true love doesn't know judgments
It never seeks culprits, it's not like a vice
It stands brave against prejudices
It's knowing there's a God when I touch you

And if it comes to an end
Well, in the end, it wasn't love, nor was it true
