La Distancia Exacta

Uh‑uh‑uh‑uh, oh‑oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

We loved carefully, like someone afraid to fall
Putting our souls on hold, just in case it hurt later
You dreamed of staying, I dreamed of not looking back
And in the midst of those fears, love started to doubt
When loving becomes a calculation, not a leap of faith
Some hearts grow cold, without stopping their beat

We found the exact distance, just right to avoid pain
Not so close that it hurt, not so far that we’d run away
We stayed in the middle, where love’s a mystery
There are stories that don’t die, for not daring to start

The promises expired, like unused dates
Your name in my messages, that I didn’t dare to send
I pretended to be mature, not asking for more
But loving without giving in, is also losing in peace

We found the exact distance, just right to avoid pain
Not so close that it hurt, not so far that we’d run away
We stayed in the middle, where love’s a mystery
There are stories that don’t die, for not daring to start

If one day we think of each other, when the night feels the same
We’ll know that fear was stronger, than truly loving

Today I understand that love isn’t measured or calculated
It’s lived or let go, even if the soul doesn’t accept it
And you were that possibility that stayed waiting

Uh‑uh, oh‑oh, uh‑uh, oh‑oh
