Amor a Distancia

Frank Reyes's song "Amor a Distancia" (Long-Distance Love) is a poignant ballad that delves into the emotional turmoil of a love that has been strained and ultimately broken by distance. The lyrics express the pain and betrayal felt by someone who has been left behind, as the distance has caused their partner to change and forget the love they once shared. The song begins with a lament about the pain that the sunrise brings, as it reminds the protagonist of the bitter kisses and the anticipation of a reunion that never fulfilled its promise. The saying that distance causes forgetfulness becomes a bitter truth for the singer.

The chorus of the song is a powerful declaration of the intent to remove the memory of this love from the heart, branding it as a cursed long-distance love. The singer describes the deep suffering and loneliness experienced in the absence of their loved one, who seems to have moved on without a second thought. The lyrics convey a sense of devastation and a desire for death as the ultimate escape from the pain of loss. The protagonist feels like a living body but dead inside since the departure of their beloved.

The song also touches on themes of betrayal and the hope for karmic justice. The protagonist struggles to accept that they were played and ignored, especially in front of their partner's friends. The sense of emptiness and injury is palpable, and there is a bitter hope that life will eventually make the ex-partner experience the same pain and regret. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, reinforcing the deep scars left by this failed long-distance relationship and the determination to overcome the pain by erasing the memories of a love that once was.
