El Barrilete

Those who have never wanted
those who have never loved
are no longer with me
since your forgetfulness
left me crying.

The best kite
I ever had in my hands
on that Sunday
when the string was cut
it flew away from me.

Those who don't understand me
and leave my side
don't know about love
about pain or tears.

And I keep thinking
that the taste of your lips
was a kite
that on that Sunday
flew away from me.

Those who have convinced themselves
that love no longer exists
say that your forgetfulness
is no reason
for me to be sad.

Despite being alive
I don't raise my arms
because your departure
left my life
shattered into a thousand pieces.
