Ojalá

I wish the leaves wouldn't touch
your body when they fall
so you can't turn them into glass,
I wish the rain would stop being a miracle
that runs down your body.
I wish the moon could rise without you,
I wish the earth wouldn't kiss your steps...

I wish your constant gaze would fade,
the perfect word, the flawless smile,
I wish something would happen that wipes you away...
a blinding light, a snowball shot,
I wish at least death would take me,
so I wouldn't see you so much, so I wouldn't see you always
in every second...
in every vision.
I wish I couldn't touch you
even in songs.

I wish the dawn wouldn't scream
that falls on my back,
I wish that voice would forget your name,
I wish the walls wouldn't hold
their tired road noise,
I wish desire would go after you.
