Vieja Amiga

Do you see? I have tried in vain
To distance myself and forget...
Today that there are wrinkles on my forehead
I feel more loneliness...
Perhaps, noticing my aging
You might think I come to see you
Because I am desperate...
No! The years have taught me
To temper my heart...

I have not come to beg you
Not even a bit of affection
Nor for you to explain your silence,
Your lies or your forgetfulness...
It's not possible, old friend,
To bring our lives closer...
I only came to see you,
Just to see you, nothing more...

There is little time left for me
To go with my cross to another corner...
I know that leaving you will sink me
Into despair.
Could it be the emotion of my departure,
That I would like to give you a kiss
Even if it costs me my life?
It's just that your tears invite me
To kiss you and cry!

I have not come to beg you
Not even a bit of affection
Nor for you to explain your silence,
Your lies or your forgetfulness...
It's not possible, old friend,
To bring our lives closer...
I am leaving... and here I leave you
All my happiness...
