Let me make this clear:

I know you don't believe

In this kind of love

I know you're about to leave, but...

I know that you don't accept it

Not in the sense that you deny it 

You simply don't believe it 

That a forbidden love could ever flourish 

Let me make this clear.

You are the most ravishing circumstance 

I've encountered in the middle 

Of the desert of this life of mine 

I simply refuse to let you go 

But my respect for you is bigger than my pride

Bigger than my selfishness 

But never bigger than my love for you 

I always thought that destiny loved to sew

And whenever its threads get tangled

Circumstances, destiny, tends to happen 

But, I, naïvely believed in that 

I was mistaken.

Just as someone such as destiny 

Is doing some hobby 

He tends to make mistakes 

He decides to untie the bad knots 

And start again

It might be something insignificant for him 

But for us, mere poetical mortals, is dreadful pain.

Let me tell you

That I am uncertain if this was a mistake

Committed by destiny, but for the time being

The time I spent looking at your tiger's eyes 

The time I spent smiling at your smile 

The time I spent caressing your body 

The time I got lost within the gray murmurs

Of your soul 

That, my beloved friend, was not a mistake 

You were the fire that ignited my dead heart 

You were the only light I could see in the 

Middle of my darkness

You were for a moment mine

I believe that we are never tied to someone 

Just as the red thread legend assures us

That thread is full of knots and dead ends 

Or walls from which such thread goes through cracks 

I assure you, my dear, if you ever leave...

I don't know... Will I follow you just to be near you?

You will not be mine, that is for sure

But it is you...

The one who lately has been giving life to many poems

When the touch of someone remains 

As the trace of my hands on the sands of the beach

Of your skin, it is something impossible to get rid of 

No wave, no wind, or time would eradicate such caress

Let me tell you as well:

That, even though life ain't that easy, you, specially you,

deserve the best to happen to you. You have given it all 

And deserve to feel just as good as you have made others feel.

Just assure me one thing...

Never stop being my friend. 

No matter how far you are 

A piece of my heart goes with you...

I see you struggle to see something

but I believe you see it all

I believe you can see everything

where no one sees anything

I believe you’re able to bring poetry

where fire has only left ashes

I believe you’re able to bring beauty

where ugliness has scratched faces

I believe you have something deep within you

that no one else can see

however, you may feel you’re crazy

but crazy people are the best out there

Everyone is blind trying to see whiteness in the dark

when you’re able to see gray

you’re able to hold ying and yang in one hand

you’re able to see that there’s something out there

Deep within everyone there is something

that not everyday shows up

however, you bring it to the surface

with that magic of yours

You may think that this is madness

but there is something deep within yourself

something that brings innocence and mystery

something I cannot read

You’re an open book with no letters

you’re a pen with no ink

however, you’ve said everything a book has to read

and you’ve written everything a pen has to write

And in the end, please, believe me

that I believe you see it all

I believe you can see magic

where everybody else seems to see emptiness.
