Amor Mudo

Behind my silence, there are a hundred words,
though you may never know.
I can't find a way for them to come out
and tell you about my love.
Time goes by without deciding our fate,
it's an unresolved love.
I know there's no excuse that holds up
and I lose my calm, with each yesterday.

I'm scared of this passion; why does it stay silent?
Maybe it knows something I don't.
But I also accept that it's my fault
for thinking that maybe you'll say no.

Behind my silence, there's a love
that I've never offered anyone before.
But with you, I respond like a child
and hide my hope of being happy.
